Crispy, juicy shrimp tossed in a spicy, creamy bang bang sauce, making it an irresistible appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Place the shrimp in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Allow to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove shrimp from buttermilk, letting excess liquid drip off, and dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour-cornstarch mixture.
- In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F. Fry the coated shrimp in batches, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer fried shrimp to a wire rack to drain.
- While the shrimp are still hot, gently toss them in the prepared bang bang sauce.
- Arrange shrimp on a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F for the best frying results.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder to the flour mixture.
- Adjust the sriracha quantity in the sauce to control the spice level.
