  • Author: ezzaytouniothmane@gmail.com
  • Total Time: 53 minute

Ingredients

– 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works best)
– 1/2 cup flour
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp pepper
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
– 1 tbsp sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
– Corn or flour tortillas
– Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, lime wedges


Instructions

Follow these simple steps for crafting your Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos:

1. Marinate the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp into a mixing bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the shrimp and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Coat the Shrimp: Remove shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. Prepare Breadcrumbs: Place the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. Dip the flour-coated shrimp into the breadcrumbs, ensuring a thorough coating for a crispy texture.
5. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
6. Air Fry the Shrimp: Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
7. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth and well combined.
8. Warm Tortillas: While shrimp cook, heat corn or flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until warm.
9. Assemble Tacos: Place crispy shrimp on warmed tortillas. Drizzle with the bang bang sauce and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, avocado, and cilantro.
10. Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added brightness and flavor.
