• Place the corn starch in a wide, shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the shrimp in the buttermilk to coat.
• Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned cornstarch and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You'll need to cook the shrimp in several batches.
• Spray with cooking oil and brush all over with the egg wash.
• Cook at 450ºF for 4 minutes or 400ºF for 5 minutes, until browned and crisp on top. Gently turn the shrimp over, spray again with oil, and brush with egg wash. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the second side, until browned and crisp. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Make the sauce while the shrimp is cooking. In a medium bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, sriracha, and dried dill weed and whisk until well combined and smooth.
• Serve the shrimp hot, either drizzled with the sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping.
