Steps:

• Set up a dredging station for the shrimp. Combine the flour, salt and freshly ground black pepper in a zipper sealable plastic bag; beat the eggs together in a medium bowl; and combine the breadcrumbs and cornstarch in a shallow dish or cake pan. Add the shrimp to the bag of flour, seal the bag and toss the shrimp around to coat them evenly with the flour. Remove the shrimp from the bag, shake off any excess flour and gently toss them with the egg to coat on all sides. Finally, add the shrimp to the breadcrumbs in small batches and gently press the crumbs onto all sides of the shrimp.
• Pre-heat the air fryer to 400°F.
• Spritz the shrimp with canola oil and air-fry in batches at 400ºF for 6 minutes. Turn them over, spritz with oil again and air-fry an additional 2 minutes.
• While the shrimp is air-frying, combine the mayonnaise, sweet Thai chili sauce and 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce in a large bowl, whisking until smooth. Season to taste, adding more sriracha sauce to suit your spice level.
• Before serving, load all the air-fried shrimp into the air fryer and air-fry at 370°F for 1 to 2 minutes just to heat everything.
• Transfer the hot air-fried shrimp to the bowl with the bang bang sauce. Gently toss with a rubber spatula to evenly coat the shrimp and then transfer to a serving platter lined with lettuce leaves. Top with chopped scallions and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees.
• Season the shrimp with the seasonings.
• Place the flour, egg whites, and panko bread crumbs in three separate bowls.
• Create a cooking station. Dip the shrimp in the flour, then the egg whites, and the panko bread crumbs last.
• When dipping the shrimp in the egg whites, you do not need to submerge the shrimp. Do a light dab so that most of the flour stays on the shrimp. You want the egg white to adhere to the panko crumbs.
• Spray the shrimp with cooking oil.
• Add the shrimp to the Air Fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes. Open the basket and flip the shrimp to the other side. Cook for an additional 4 minutes or until crisp.
