Table of Contents hide

For the Sriracha Mayo:
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk everything together until smooth and well blended.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate to chill and let the flavors meld until serving time.
For the Fried Shrimp:
Start by combining the flour and seafood seasoning in a shallow dish. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until they are homogeneous and smooth.
In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
Preheat your air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit.
Dry the shrimp with paper towels. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture first, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Set the breaded shrimp aside on a plate as you finish coating the rest.
Spray the air fryer basket with a non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not touch.
Lightly mist the shrimp with the cooking spray.
Air fry the shrimp for 6 minutes, then check for doneness. If necessary, cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp are golden brown and fully cooked.
Serve the shrimp immediately with the prepared sriracha mayo.
