Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

We put a little spin on Bonefish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp by cooking that crispy shrimp in the air fryer and then turning it into tacos. The 3 ingredient Bang Bang sauce is spot on and total perfection!

Instructions

To make the shrimp:

  1. Add the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to a shallow dish and whisk to combine.
  2. Add the eggs to a second dish and the panko to a third dish.
  3. Dip each shrimp, one by one, into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the panko. Press the shrimp into the panko to coat.
  4. Place shrimp in an oiled air fryer basket and spritz liberally with oil spray.
  5. Air fry at 385 degrees for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

To make the sauce:

  1. Whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
  2. Taste and add additional sriracha, if desired, for more spice.

To serve:

  1. Toss the shrimp in half of the bang bang sauce and set aside remainder of sauce for serving.
  2. Heat the tortillas over an open flame or on a large skillet until warm and pliable.
  3. Assemble tacos with shrimp, cabbage, cilantro, and tomatoes. Drizzle additional bang bang sauce over the top before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • In a hurry? Use a box of frozen, breaded shrimp and heat in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 8 minutes or until crisp. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as directed.
  • Be sure to toss the shrimp in the sauce just before serving or the breading on the shrimp will lose some of its crunch and become a bit soggy. 
  • Any leftover sauce makes a tasty dip for chicken tenders or french fries.
