Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting your large raw shrimp dry with paper towels, ensuring they’re moisture-free. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixture, the second with beaten egg, and the third with panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Take each shrimp and dip it in the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 390°F for about 5 minutes. Arrange coated shrimp in a single layer, lightly spray with oil, and cook for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage with any additional ingredients for slaw, mixing well.
  5. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave, then layer with crispy shrimp, cabbage slaw, and drizzle with spicy bang bang sauce.
