Steps:
- For the fried shrimp: Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the shrimp dry between a couple paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Whisk the flour with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 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 in the beaten eggs. Dredge in the panko, turning until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees F. Working in batches, place some of the shrimp in a single layer in the fryer basket, then spray lightly with more cooking spray. Cook until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes.
- 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 with the fried shrimp for dipping.
GRILLED SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE AND MANGO
Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place 5 to 6 shrimp in the center of a square of foil. Add a few pieces of mango, pineapple, onion, and tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle with lemon-pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Fold the sides up around the shrimp mix to make a packet. Flip upside-down onto another sheet of aluminum foil.
- Place the folded side of the foil packets down first on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes; flip so the folded side is up. Continue to cook until shrimp are pink and onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
