Bang Bang Shrimp — Crispy & Creamy Kick

Ingredients:


 Bang Bang Sauce:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce

  • 2 teaspoons sriracha


 Shrimp & Breading:

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed

  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • ¾ cup cornstarch

  • Oil for frying (enough to fill about 1 inch of your pan)


Directions:


1. Mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Cover and chill until needed.

2. Toss the shrimp in buttermilk, ensuring each one is coated. Let sit for about 10 minutes.

3. Working one shrimp at a time, lift from the buttermilk and let excess drip off. Coat thoroughly in cornstarch and shake off the extra.

4. Heat oil in a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan to around 350°F (or medium-high heat). Fry shrimp in batches, about 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.

5. Once all shrimp are cooked, place them in a bowl and pour the chilled sauce over them. Gently toss until each shrimp is evenly coated.


Serve over rice, greens, or crunchy slaw for that perfect crispy-meets-creamy bite.
