Description

This air fryer buffalo shrimp recipe is a fun, spicy twist on classic buffalo wings. The shrimp are lightly breaded and air fried to crispy perfection, then tossed in a buttery hot sauce blend that makes them pop with flavor. No deep frying, no mess – just juicy, zesty bites you can enjoy on their own, in tacos, or on top of a salad.

Ingredient

Buffalo Sauce:

Instructions

  1. Prep the Shrimp: Pat shrimp dry. In three bowls, set up a dredging station: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Coat the Shrimp: Dip shrimp in flour, then egg, then panko mixture. Press gently to coat.
  3. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the basket. Arrange shrimp in a single layer, spray tops with oil, and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy.
  4. Toss in Sauce: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with hot sauce (and honey if using). Toss cooked shrimp in sauce and serve immediately.
