Air Fryer Firecracker Shrimp
Air Fryer Firecracker Shrimp is a super easy and delicious snack or appetizer recipe that you won’t want to miss out on!
It’s perfectly fine with me if you call this “lazy” firecracker sauce, because it kind of is.
By combining buffalo wing sauce and sweet Thai chili sauce, you get a pretty darn close version of firecracker sauce.
And hey, sometimes we need a bit of simplicity in our lives, right?!
How to Make Air Fryer Firecracker Shrimp
I peeled and deveined a pound of jumbo shrimp for this dish.
Then I set up my breading station to make this go smoothly.
A beaten egg in one bowl, a half cup of flour seasoned with kosher salt and pepper in another bowl, and we are ready to go.
First the shrimp go into the egg, then dredged in the seasoned flour and into the air fryer basket.
A little spray of olive oil cooking spray over top and then set the air fryer to 390 degrees for 12 minutes.
.
Shake the basket halfway through cooking to toss the shrimp around a bit.
Once they are done they are golden brown and crispy.
The firecracker sauce is simply a half cup each of buffalo wing sauce and sweet Thai chili sauce.
Whisk the sauce to combine and toss it with the cooked shrimp.
Air Fryer Firecracker Shrimp could not be a more simple recipe to prepare!
Around here we like to have game night and movie nights with the kids, and this was the perfect snack to enjoy together.
