Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 Tbsp green onion finely chopped
- oil for frying
Wet Batter-
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Dry Batter-
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Bang Bang Sauce-
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 3 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha hot sauce
- 1/2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Peel, devein, and remove the tails off the shrimp. Then pat dry the shrimp.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the wet batter mixture, ensuring all the shrimps are coated.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic, paprika, and black pepper in another mixing bowl.
- Take the shrimp from the wet batter, allowing any excess liquid to drip, transfer to the dry mixture. Coat the shrimp fully in the flour mixture. Add the dredged shrimp to a plate and repeat with all the shrimp.
- In a skillet or saucepan, add about 2-3 inches of oil and heat to 375°F.
- Once hot, carefully add the shrimp to the oil and fry for 1-2 minutes for side, or until golden brown. (You do not want to overcrowd the skillet, so you might need to fry the shrimp in a couple batches.)
- As the shrimp is frying, prepare the Bang Bang sauce. Combine the mayo, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha hot sauce in a bowl until creamy.
- Transfer the fried shrimp to a paper towel lined plate or baking sheet.
- Toss the crispy shrimp in the bang bang shrimp sauce and transfer it to your serving dish.
- Garnish with chopped green onion and serve.
