Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Sunflower oil or avocado oil, for frying
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with buttermilk. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15 minutes.
In another bowl, mix the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge the shrimp in the cornstarch mixture, making sure each piece is well-coated.
Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and lemon juice to make the sauce.
Toss the fried shrimp in the sauce until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions.
