INGREDIENTS

For the Shrimps

  • 1 lb large shrimps, peeled and deveined
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • A few cracks of black pepper

For the Fry

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • A few cracks of black pepper

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Sriracha
  • 2 tsp honey

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Seasoning the Shrimps: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimps with salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Toss until the shrimps are evenly seasoned. This step ensures that the shrimp are flavorful from the inside out.

  • Preparing the Bang Bang Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and honey. Adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your preferred spice level. The sauce should be a harmonious blend of creamy, spicy, and sweet elements.

  • Setting Up the Dredge Station: Arrange three bowls for the dredging process. In the first bowl, mix all-purpose flour with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat two large eggs. In the third bowl, place the cornstarch. This setup facilitates an efficient coating process for the shrimps.

  • Dredging the Shrimps: Begin by coating the seasoned shrimps in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they're lightly but thoroughly covered. Dip them next into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimps in cornstarch, pressing gently to ensure a good adherence. Shake off any excess cornstarch. This triple layer contributes to the ultimate crispiness of the shrimps.
  • Frying the Shrimps: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pot or wok to 350°F. Fry the battered shrimps in small batches to avoid overcrowding, about 4-5 minutes per batch or until they are golden, crispy, and cooked through. Transfer the fried shrimps to a paper towel-lined plate or a rack to drain any excess oil.
  • Coating with Bang Bang Sauce: Once all the shrimps are fried, place them in a large bowl. Pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the shrimps and toss gently until they are evenly coated with the sauce. The shrimps should be saucy but not drenched, maintaining their crispy exterior.
  • Serving: Serve the bang bang shrimps on a platter lined with butter lettuce leaves for an aesthetic presentation. Garnish with thinly sliced chives to add a fresh, vibrant touch.

This Bang Bang Shrimp recipe combines the perfect crispy texture with a sauce that delivers a delightful kick, making it an irresistible dish that's bound to become a favorite.

Enjoy! ♡
