Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 cups canola oil, for frying
Instructions
Start by preparing the shrimp. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside for the sauce.
Pour the buttermilk into a shallow dish. Place the cornstarch and panko breadcrumbs in separate dishes.
Dip each shrimp in the cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Toss the hot cooked shrimp with the sauce you prepared earlier until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions.
