  • 6 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. In one bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg.
  4. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into the beaten egg, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  8. Cook for 4-5 minutes, flip shrimp, and cook another 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  9. While shrimp cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice to make the bang bang sauce.
  10. In a medium bowl, combine shredded green and red cabbage with shredded carrot.
  11. Mix mayonnaise, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then toss with the cabbage mixture to make the sriracha slaw.
  12. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  13. Spread a spoonful of bang bang sauce on each tortilla.
  14. Top with crispy shrimp, a generous heap of sriracha slaw, and fresh cilantro if using.
  15. Squeeze lime over the top before folding and serving.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before coating to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed. Spray shrimp lightly with cooking oil for extra crispiness. Sauce and slaw can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Reheat shrimp in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to regain crispness.
