Our copycat Bang Bang Shrimp recipe is our addicting version of the famous Bonefish Grill recipe! We use the air fryer to make crispy fried shrimp and then top it with a 3 ingredient, sweet, creamy, spicy sauce. This makes a great appetizer, but we've been known to serve it as a main dish with rice and veggies, as well.

To make the shrimp:
Add the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to a shallow dish and whisk to combine.
Add the eggs to a second dish and the panko to a third dish.
Dip each shrimp, one by one, into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the panko. Press the shrimp into the panko to coat.
Place shrimp in an oiled air fryer basket and spritz liberally with oil spray.
Air fry at 385 degrees for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
To make the sauce:
Whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
Taste and add additional sriracha, if desired, for more spice.
To serve:
Drizzle the sauce over the shrimp and serve.

Notes
You can use any size of shrimp for this recipe, be sure to adjust cook time accordingly.You may not need all of the sauce - add as much as you'd like to make the shrimp as saucy as you'd like. Serve extra on the side as a dip. Sauce will last in the fridge for at least one week and makes a good dip for fries and chicken.The spice comes from the sriracha, so adjust to taste.We serve this as an appetizer over a bed of lettuce with extra sauce for dipping. As a main dish, we usually serve this with rice and vegetables.
