Air Fryer Buffalo Shrimp

Thaw one pound of jumbo easy-peel raw shrimp (if frozen). Once the shrimp is thawed, discard the peels and tails. If the shrimp is already raw, remove the peels and tails and discard them. Place the shrimp between two layers of paper towels and pat dry to remove any excess moisture.
Begin the process of dredging the shrimp: In one bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, add the eggs. Whisk the eggs with a fork or small whisk. Add the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper in the third bowl. Stir until combined.
Dip the shrimp (one at a time) first in the flour, ensuring it is completely coated. Next, dip the shrimp in the whisked eggs. Lastly, dip the shrimp in the Panko breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is entirely coated. Place the shrimp on a large plate or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
Spray both sides of the breaded shrimp with a safe cooking spray for air fryers, such as a non-aerosol high-heat oil such as avocado, grape seed, or peanut oil. Place as many shrimp as will fit in the air fryer basket without overcrowding in a single layer. Make sure there is space between each of the shrimp. Cook the shrimp at 370 degrees Fahrenheit with a cooking time of 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and set cook time for another 4 minutes on the other side.
In a medium saucepan, add the butter, and over medium heat, melt the butter, slowly adding the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and honey stir until completely combined. Turn the heat off but leave the sauce on the stove. If the butter starts to solidify, turn the heat on low until it melts again.
Place the cooked shrimp in a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over the top. Carefully toss the shrimp in the sauce until coated. Serve the buffalo shrimp immediately.
