Ingredients

  • 1 (5 oz) box Louisiana Fish Fry Products Air Fryer Fish Seasoned Coating Mix
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten with 1 Tbsp. water
  • 1 lb. raw large or extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
  • 2 tsp. sriracha, plus more to taste
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Add flour, salt, and pepper to a large resealable bag and shake to combine. Add shrimp to the flour mixture, seal the bag, and shake until the shrimp are well coated.
  2. In a shallow dish, add the beaten egg mixture. In another shallow dish, pour the Air Fryer Fish Seasoned Coating Mix.
  3. Remove the shrimp from the flour mixture, shake off any excess flour, and dip them into the egg mixture. Let the excess egg drip back into the bowl, then press the shrimp firmly into the Seasoned Coating Mix until completely coated.
  4. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary. Lightly spray the shrimp with cooking spray and cook for 8 minutes at 400°F, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The coating should be golden brown, and the internal temperature of the shrimp should reach 145°F.
  5. While the shrimp cook, combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sriracha in a small mixing bowl. Adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha to taste. To serve, arrange the cooked shrimp on a serving platter with the dipping sauce and garnish with scallions. Enjoy!
