Directions

Step 1 :

For the fried shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry between a couple of paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Step 2 :

Whisk the flour with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl. Add the panko to a third shallow bowl. Dip a shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs. Dredge it in the panko, turning until evenly coated. Transfer it to a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.

Step 3 :

Preheat the air fryer to 195 °C. Working in batches, place some of the shrimp in a single layer in the fryer basket, then spray them lightly with cooking spray. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp is golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Step 4 :

For the spicy remoulade sauce: Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, pickled jalapenos, mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, and scallion in a small bowl until smooth. Serve it with the fried shrimp for dipping.
