Instructions

Creating Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos is simple and fun. Just follow these steps for a memorable meal:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere better.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
3. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture first. Shake off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, followed by the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Shrimp: Place the coated shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Shake halfway through cooking for even results.
6. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: While the shrimp cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl to create the bang bang sauce.
7. Warm the Tortillas: You can warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or lightly toast them in a skillet.
8. Assemble the Tacos: Spread a dollop of the bang bang sauce on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, cucumber slices, crispy shrimp, and fresh cilantro.
9. Garnish: Drizzle remaining bang bang sauce on top of the assembled tacos for extra flavor. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
