Ingredients

1 lb medium-sized raw shrimp, deveined, tails off
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 large egg white
1-1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
cooking spray or olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsps sweet chili sauce
2 tsps Sriracha (less or more to taste)
sliced green onion for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Separate cornstarch, egg white and panko into three separate bowls. Coat shrimp with cornstarch and set aside on parchment or paper plate. Dip and coa shrimp in egg white, then transfer to panko, pressing the shrimp into the crumbs to coat evenly on both sides..
Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray or coat top of shrimp with oil. Air fry for 5 minutes on 350 degrees, flip shrimp over, spray other side with oil, and air fry for another 2 minutes until golden brown. (In some cases you might need to do two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Shrimp should not be touching each other in the air frying basket.)
While shrimp are cooking, prepare the bang bang sauce. In a bowl that’s big enough to fit all shrimp after they’re cooked, whisk together mayonnaise, chili sauce and Sriracha. Once shrimp are done, carefully toss shrimp with sauce.
Serve immediately. Garnish with green onions if you choose.
