Method
- 1
Pat shrimp dry. Dredge in flour, then egg, then panko.
- 2
Spray all sides with cooking spray.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
- 4
Mix mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey for the bang bang sauce.
- 5
Toss crispy shrimp in sauce. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
Pro tip. Toss with sauce RIGHT before serving — the panko goes soggy fast. Serve extra sauce on the side for dipping. Adjust sriracha to your heat preference. These make incredible appetizers or lettuce wrap fillings.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 15 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
