Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Clean and pat dry the shrimp. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Serve the fried shrimp immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
