Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos is straightforward with these easy steps:
1. Prep the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp, flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
2. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three separate bowls. In the first bowl, place the seasoned shrimp, in the second bowl, whisk the egg, and in the third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs mixed with cayenne pepper.
3. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally coat it well with the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate or baking sheet.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Shrimp: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the breaded shrimp in a single layer in the basket. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray as well.
6. Cook the Shrimp: Air fry the shrimp for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
7. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your heat preference.
8. Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp cooks, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
9. Assemble the Tacos: Place a few crispy shrimp on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and a drizzle of the bang bang sauce.
10. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro over the tacos.
