Healthy Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve with the shrimp.

Step 1

Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Place three medium mixing bowls in a line. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second, whisk together the eggs, water, black pepper and salt. In the third, mix together the bread crumbs, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika.

Step 3

In small batches (about 4 or 5 shrimp at a time), coat the shrimp in the flour, then dredge in the egg mixture and then coat with the panko mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.

Step 4

Lightly spray the shrimp with nonstick cooking spray. In 2 or 3 batches, air fry for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the air fryer and transfer to a serving bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the Bang Bang Sauce lightly over the top of the shrimp and garnish with sliced green onion. Serve the remaining sauce in a small dipping bowl.
