Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos Recipe

30 mins
  • 1 pound raw medium-sized shrimp
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoon Sriracha, depending on taste
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded white cabbage
  • 3 chopped green onions
  • 8 tortillas
  • 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Clean and devein the shrimp, removing the tails. Set aside in a bowl. Pat the shrimp with paper towels before the dredging process.
  2. For the bang bang sauce: Whisk mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, and honey together in a small bowl until well combined and homogeneous. Place the sauce in a shallow bowl. Set aside ¼ of the bang bang sauce for drizzling. Place the Panko bread crumbs in a shallow bowl next to the sauce.
  3. Coat the shrimp with the bang bang sauce and then coat with the Panko bread crumbs. Place the shrimp on a single layer on the crisper tray inside the air fryer, making sure not to overlap the shrimp. (You will need to repeat this process a few times.)
  4. Spray the tops of the shrimp with cooking spray for a golden brown finish. Set the air fryer on 380 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway. Check the shrimp after 6 minutes to see if golden brown and crispy. If not, keep cooking another minute or two.
  5. To assemble the tacos: Place a layer of the red and white cabbage at the bottom of the tortilla shell, followed by the crispy shrimp, and top with a drizzle of the reserved bang bang sauce, chopped green onions, and a squeeze of lime.
