Crispy Air-Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp

Crispy Air-Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp pairs crackly panko-coated shrimp with a creamy, sweet-and-spicy sauce that clings to every bite. The contrast of crunchy exterior and tender shrimp shines in lettuce wraps or over rice, making it great for casual weeknight dinners or a crowd-pleasing appetizer. A sprinkle of green onions adds fresh bite to balance the heat.
