Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Create the Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the Bang Bang sauce. Set aside to let the flavors blend together.
- Coat the Shrimp: Dredge each shrimp in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well-coated for that delightful crunch. Press gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere.
- Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, it’s time to fry!
- Fry the Shrimp: Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain the Shrimp: Remove the fried shrimp and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Toss in Sauce: In a large bowl, toss the crispy shrimp in the Bang Bang sauce until they are evenly coated with that irresistible mixture.
- Serve with Style: Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
Frying the shrimp in batches helps achieve that crispy texture. The Bang Bang sauce is essential; adjust the sweetness and heat to suit your taste.
