Begin by patting dry your jumbo shrimp with paper towels to ensure they crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour or cornstarch with salt and pepper, ensuring it's well-mixed for even seasoning.

In a separate bowl, beat an egg until fully blended. This dual setup helps streamline the coating process.

Spray your air fryer basket with a light layer of olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes while you coat the shrimp.

Take each shrimp and dip it first into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture.

Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer within the prepared air fryer basket.

Place the basket in the preheated air fryer and cook the shrimp at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, looking for a lovely golden-brown color.

While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the bang bang sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet Thai chili sauce, and Sriracha in a small bowl.

Once the shrimp are done cooking, remove the basket and let them cool slightly, then toss them in the bang bang sauce until fully coated.

Plate your Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp while still warm, garnishing with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
