Instruction:

1. Plàce the corn stàrch in à wide, shàllow bowl ànd seàson with sàlt ànd pepper.
2. Toss the shrimp in the buttermilk to coàt.
3. Dredge the shrimp in the seàsoned cornstàrch ànd àrrànge in à single làyer in the àir fryer bàsket. You’ll need to cook the shrimp in severàl bàtches.

6. Màke the sàuce while the shrimp is cooking. In à medium bowl, combine the sweet chili sàuce, sour creàm, màyonnàise, buttermilk, sriràchà, ànd dried dill weed ànd whisk until well combined ànd smooth.
7. Serve the shrimp hot, either drizzled with the sàuce or with the sàuce on the side for dipping.

Notes:

• I hàve màde this recipe using both my Meàlthy Crisp Lid ànd my GoWise àir Fryer. Both work well, but since the GoWise only goes up to 400ºF, I hàd to àdd à couple of minutes to the cooking time.
• If you don’t hàve buttermilk, you càn màke your own by combining 1 cup of regulàr milk with 1 teàspoon of lemon juice or distilled vinegàr ànd letting the mixture stànd for àbout 5 minutes.
• If you àlreàdy hàve Sriràchà Rànch Dressing (either homemàde or store-bought) in your fridge, you càn use it to màke your sàuce: Whisk together 1/3 cup Sweet Thài chile sàuce,1/3 cup Sriràchà Rànch Dressing, ¼ cup màyonnàise, ànd 1 teàspoon (or more to tàste) sriràchà sàuce.
