Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp is such a fun shrimp dish! You can eat them on their own or pop them in tortillas for some tacos. It’s also easy to make – and a little messy – which come on – is the fun part!

Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp

Bang Bang Shrimp became “famous” from Bonefish Grill and was one of the first restaurants I went to when I moved to Cincinnati. The crispy shrimp coated in this yummy spicy mayo – I couldn’t get enough and ate the whole bowl myself! (I mean, I didn’t know anybody – so I figured why not!)

Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp

How do you make Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp?

There’s really just two steps – the shrimp and the sauce! For the shrimp – set up your air fryer breading trays:

  • Tray 1: flour, salt, pepper
  • Tray 2: eggs, buttermilk
  • Tray 3: cornstarch, panko

Rinse your shrimp and then dip through each of the trays and lay in the air fryer. Spritz heavily with olive oil. Air fry for 6 minutes – flipping halfway thru and spritzing again. This helps with the browning. Be gentle when you flip so the coating stays on.

While the shrimp is air frying, mix up your Bang Bang sauce! Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet Thai Chili sauce and Gochujang (or sriracha). I highly recommend tasting as you add in the Gochujang – that way you can determine how spicy you like it!

Once the shrimp is done, carefully remove shrimp with tongs or your fingers (it’s not) and dip shrimp in sauce on both sides. Then back to the air fryer for 2 minutes.

Why use cornstarch instead of flour?

Cornstarch is a more pure starch so it’s a better thickener and it gets crispier in a breading – so it’s great to use in this dish as you mix it in with the panko breadcrumbs. Spraying the shrimp with olive oil will also help the browning.

Should I use raw or cooked shrimp?

RAW!!!!! I cannot impress this upon you enough! Shrimp cooks very quickly – if you use cooked shrimp in this recipe – the result will be Bang Bang Rubber Balls! Be sure when you’re buying your shrimp – look for RAW, PEELED AND DEVEINED! I also get tails OFF 99% of the time. The only time I use tail-on is if it’s a finger food like shrimp cocktail – definitely not with a sticky sauce.

What to serve with Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp?

  • Air Fryer Fish Tacos (just swap the fish for the shrimp!)
  • Air Fryer Grilled Pineapple (what a delicious dessert after yummy dinner!)
  • Air Fryer Plantains
