Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-on optional)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying (canola or peanut oil recommended)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions or chives, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 1 pound of large shrimp. Leaving tails on is optional but adds a nice touch. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until smooth. Room temperature eggs help the batter stick better.
  4. Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture. For extra crispiness, double-dip by repeating the egg and flour steps once more.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into your skillet about 2 inches deep. Heat over medium-high until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check.
  6. Working in batches, carefully place shrimp into hot oil. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
  7. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
  8. While frying, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha (to taste), and 1 teaspoon lime juice in a small bowl.
  9. Once all shrimp are fried, toss them gently in the bang bang sauce until evenly coated.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady around 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt shrimp. Double dredge shrimp for extra crunch. Use a wire rack to drain excess oil and keep shrimp crispy. Sauce can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend. Air fryer method available for less mess.
