Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • or the firecracker sauce
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Ingredients. With salt and pepper, season the shrimp to taste. In a small bowl, beat the egg. In another small bowl, place the flour. In a third small bowl, add the panko bread crumbs.
  • Spray the Oven rack/basket with cooking oil. Dip the shrimp in the flour, then the egg, and then the bread crumbs. Place the shrimp in the Oven rack/basket. It is okay to stack them. Spray the shrimp with cooking oil. Place the Rack on the middle-shelf of the Dutch oven.
  • Air Frying. Cook for 4 minutes. Open the Dutch oven and flip the shrimp. I recommend flipping individually instead of shaking to keep the breading intact. Cook for extra 4 minutes or until crisp.
  • While the shrimp is cooking, make the firecracker sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, Sriracha, and sweet chili sauce. Mix well. Serve with the shrimp.
