Shrimp is coated in panko crumbs and air fried producing a deliciously crunchy coating. It’s finished off with a sriracha and lime-flavored mayonnaise.
12 lb large peeled and deveined raw shrimp with tails intact
(approximately 12-14)
Cooking spray
2 green onions
thinly sliced
For the sriracha mayonnaise
⅓ cup (2½ oz) mayonnaise
1 tbsp sriracha
2 tsp Thai sweet chili sauce
1 lime
Instructions
1Combine the flour and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in a separate shallow dish. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
2Place a quarter of the shrimp in the flour and toss to coat, shaking off the excess. Dip into the eggs and toss in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. Place in a single layer in a dish.
3Cover the shrimp with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. This sets the coating, helping it to stick to the shrimp during cooking. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
4To make the sriracha mayonnaise, place the mayonnaise, sriracha and chili sauce in a bowl. Grate over half the lime zest and whisk. Cover and refrigerate until required.
5Insert the oven rack into position 3 Down. Place the roasting pan on the rack to catch any drips during cooking. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 430°F, for 7 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
6Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fry basket. Spray both sides with cooking spray.
7Once preheated, place the basket into position 1 and air fry for 7 minutes. When the oven signals turn the shrimp over and continue cooking.
8The shrimp should be golden and crisp. If not, press A Bit More.
Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
9Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the sriracha mayonnaise and the green onions and gently toss to coat.
10Grate the remaining lime zest over the shrimp and serve with the remaining sriracha mayonnaise.
