Ingredients
For the shrimp:
- 1 pound medium raw shrimp thawed, deveined, tails and shell removed
- ½ cup flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
For the Bang Bang sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- ½ teaspoon Sriracha more to taste
For the tacos:
- 10 corn tortillas
- 2 cups thinly sliced purple cabbage
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 large tomato diced
Instructions
To make the shrimp:
- Add the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to a shallow dish and whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs to a second dish and the panko to a third dish.
- 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.
- Place shrimp in an oiled air fryer basket and spritz liberally with oil spray.
- Air fry at 385 degrees for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
Cup of Yum
To make the sauce:
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
- Taste and add additional sriracha, if desired, for more spice.
To serve:
- Toss the shrimp in half of the bang bang sauce and set aside remainder of sauce for serving.
- Heat the tortillas over an open flame or on a large skillet until warm and pliable.
- 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.
