What you’ll need:
Appetizer servings: 4-6
3lbs jumbo shrimp
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garlic powder
3 tsps lemongrass paste (or fresh chopped)
1 tsp honey
salt
black peppper
1 tsp baking powder

fresh chopped cilantro
2 long baguettes (diagonally sliced — 1 in thick slices)
japanese mayonnaise
sriracha
hot Maggie seasoning

Instructions:
*Make sure all produce and veggies are thoroughly washed and dried
Start off by placing peeled and deveined shrimp in a mixing bowl and season with fish sauce, turmeric, garlic powder, lemongrass paste, honey, baking powder, salt and black pepper. Mix to combine well.
Airfry shrimp in one even single layer at 390F for about 7-10 minutes— or until they are cooked to your liking. (The baking powder will help crisp up shrimp edges.) Set aside, once cooked through.
Prepare sauce by mixing equal parts japanese mayo and sriracha to mixing bowl— add a few dashes of hot Maggie seasoning and taste to adjust. Set aside.
Slice baguettes diagonally into oval shaped 1in slices— toast in the air fryer at 400F for about 5 minutes or until golden and lightly crisp.
Prep veggies—Peel cucumber into ribbons, or thinly sliced cucumber diagonally . Rough chop cilantro. Set aside.
Assemble— place toasted baguettes slices to a serving plate and spread some pate, followed by some sauce, cucumber ribbons, shrimp, and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Bet you can’t eat just one— ENJOY!
