Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with salt and black pepper to coat evenly.
Add the cornstarch to a shallow bowl and dredge the shrimp until all are well coated, shaking off any excess cornstarch.
In a medium-sized skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 375°F (190°C).
Gently place the shrimp in the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth and well combined. Adjust the sriracha quantity based on your spice preference.
Transfer the fried shrimp to a large mixing bowl and pour the prepared sauce over the top. Toss gently to ensure each shrimp is evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
