Instructions
Making Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos is easier than you might think! Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for about 10 minutes.
3. Mix the Breading: In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat the Shrimp: Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil. Place the breaded shrimp in the basket in a single layer.
6. Cook the Shrimp: Air fry the shrimp for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking until golden brown and crispy.
7. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth and well-combined.
8. Warm the Tortillas: While the shrimp cooks, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
9. Assemble the Tacos: Place a handful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla, top with the crispy shrimp, and drizzle with the bang bang sauce.
10. Garnish: Finish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
These steps will ensure that your Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos turn out perfectly every time, with the right balance of flavor and texture!
