1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 1 lb | Large Shrimp (peeled and deveined) |
| 0.5 cup | Cornstarch |
| 1 cup | Panko Breadcrumbs |
| 1 large | Egg |
| 0.5 cup | Mayonnaise |
| 0.25 cup | Thai Sweet Chili Sauce |
| 1 tbsp | Sriracha |
| 1 tsp | Garlic Powder |
| 0.5 tsp | Smoked Paprika |
| 0.5 tsp | Salt |
2 Instructions
Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
Set up two additional shallow bowls: one containing the cornstarch and the other containing the Panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each shrimp first in cornstarch, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly with Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking oil spray.
Arrange the breaded shrimp in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not touch. Spray the tops of the shrimp lightly with oil.
Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the shrimp are cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a large mixing bowl.
Once the shrimp are done, immediately toss them in the sauce bowl until evenly coated. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
Do not overcrowd the basket; if necessary, cook the shrimp in two batches to ensure maximum air circulation and crispiness.
-
·
For an even crispier texture, you can toast the Panko breadcrumbs in a dry pan for 2 minutes before breading the shrimp.
-
·
If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
-
·
Serve immediately, as the sauce will eventually soften the crispy breading.
