Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting the jumbo shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour (or cornstarch) with salt and pepper for seasoning. In a separate bowl, beat one egg until well combined.
  3. Take each shrimp and dip it first into the beaten egg, then transfer to the seasoned flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes and spray the basket with cooking spray.
  5. Carefully place the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the tops of the shrimp with olive oil cooking spray. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. While the shrimp are air frying, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet Thai chili sauce, and Sriracha in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  7. Once the shrimp are cooked, pour the bang bang sauce over, tossing gently. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped greens if desired.
