Air Fryer Chili Crisp Shrimp
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and de-veined)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp corn starch
- 2.5 Tbsp chili crisp
- 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 stalk green onion, roughly chopped
1. Add shrimp, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and cornstarch to a bowl and mix to combine.
2. Preheat air fryer for a few mins. Lightly spray shrimp with oil to coat all over and spray the air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Add shrimp to air fryer in an even layer making sure not to overcrowd. Cook at 400F for 8-10 mins, flipping halfway through.
3. While shrimp is cooking, mix chili crisp, soy sauce, sriracha sauce and sugar until combined. Set aside.
4. When the shrimp is done, remove from air fryer.
5. In a pan, heat 1 Tbsp of oil, then add red bell pepper and shallots until browned, about 1-2 mins. Add green onion and stir for another 1 min. Add shrimp to pan and the sauce mixture to coat all over. Toss the shrimp with the sauce until well combined, about 1 min. Turn off heat and transfer to plate.
