Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp
- ½ cup cornstarch
- Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- Scallions and cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Preparation
- Pat the shrimp thoroughly dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the cornstarch on a baking pan. Scatter the shrimp over the cornstarch, and shake the pan to evenly coat the shrimp.
- Arrange the shrimp in the basket and spray with an even coating of extra-virgin olive oil. Place into the air fryer. Select Air Fry, and set the time to 8 minutes and the temperature to 350°F. Select Toss Reminder and press Start/Stop. When alerted, shake the basket and spray with additional oil if needed. Replace the basket to finish cooking.
- While the shrimp are cooking, combine the chili sauce, lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, and Sriracha in a medium bowl, and set aside.
- When the shrimp are finished, transfer to the bowl with the sauce, and gently stir to coat. Transfer to a serving bowl, and top with the sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro.
