Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons sherry

  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon chopped scallions

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon ginger stir-in paste

Shrimp:

  • ½ cup cornstarch

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup club soda

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 pound large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails left on

Directions

  1. Make sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, sherry, rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, scallions, sugar, lemon juice, and ginger stir-in paste in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.

  2. Prepare shrimp: Whisk together cornstarch, flour, club soda, and beaten egg in a large bowl until well combined. Add shrimp; gently stir until shrimp are evenly coated.

  3. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Cut a piece of parchment to fit the basket of the air fryer and set aside.

  4. Use tongs to hold shrimp by the tail and dip in batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off. Place shrimp on the reserved parchment paper without overcrowding, then place into the basket of the air fryer. You will need to cook shrimp in batches.

  5. Cook in the preheated air fryer until desired crispness is reached, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Serve hot with sauce.
