    Bangkok shrimp are the perfect combination of spicy with a little sweet. If you love sweet with a little heat, you’re going to love this recipe! They are so easy to make and come together in just 10 minutes. The best part is, you can easily adjust the amount of heat by using more or less buffalo sauce. I blended up clevelandkitchen classic kimchi in the food processor and added this to my sauce to give these an extra punch of flavor with an added bonus of gut-boosting nutrients. 

    Shrimp recipe with herbs

    Bangkok shrimp is a popular seafood dish that is often found on the menus of  Thai restaurants around the world. The dish is named after the capital city of Thailand, Bangkok, where it is believed to have originated.

    While there are many variations of Bangkok shrimp, the dish typically consists of large, succulent shrimp that are cooked in a flavorful sauce made from a blend of ingredients that are common in Thai cuisine. This delicious kimchi sauce includes ingredients such as garlic, greens, red pepper.

    Ingredients for Bangkok shrimp

    Instructions to cook Bangkok Shrimp

    • Place shrimp, corn starch and seasoning into a ziploc bag. Be certain to close the bag, then shake well until all shrimp are covered.
    • Place shrimp into air fryer making sure that none are touching.
    • Air fry on 330 degrees for 5 minutes.
    • Flip, then air fry for another 2 mins. 
    • While shrimp is in the air fryer, let’s make our sauce. Start by heating a skillet on medium.
    • Add in all sauce ingredients one by one. Stir well. Sauce will begin to boil, at this point you will want to place it on low. Stir well again.

    • Serve by itself or over rice.

    Equipment

    Speaking of equipment, I use my an Air-Fryer on 330 degrees to make this recipe.

    Storage

    To store Bangkok shrimp, you should let them cool down to room temperature before putting them in the container. Keep the shrimp in the refrigerator. You can place the container of shrimp in the coldest part of your fridge, such as the back of the bottom shelf. Do not freeze shrimp that have already been cooked, as this can affect their texture and flavor.

    By following these steps, you can ensure that your Bangkok shrimp stay fresh and safe to eat for as long as possible.

    Pro Tip

    Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture. When cooking the shrimp, be careful not to overcook them, as this can result in a tough and rubbery texture.

    FAQ

    Are shrimp healthy?

    Yes, shrimp can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. Shrimp are low in calories and fat, and high in protein. They are also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and improved brain function. Shrimp are also rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, vitamin B12, and iron.

    Can I bread shrimp before cooking them in the air fryer?

    Yes, you can bread shrimp before cooking them in the air fryer. Use a mixture of gluten free breadcrumbs and your desired seasonings to coat the shrimp.

    Can I cook shrimp in the air fryer without any oil?

    Yes, you can cook shrimp in the air fryer without any oil. The shrimp will still cook through and become crispy, although they may not be as golden brown as shrimp cooked with oil. If you prefer a crispy texture, you can lightly spray the shrimp with cooking spray before cooking.
