Shrimp Preparation

Dynamite Sauce

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and black pepper. Toss to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning.

  2. 2

    Coat with Cornstarch

    Sprinkle the cornstarch over the seasoned shrimp. Toss again until the shrimp are well coated with cornstarch. This will help create a crispy exterior when fried.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Dynamite Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Toss the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, add the fried shrimp and pour the dynamite sauce over them. Gently toss to ensure all the shrimp are coated with the sauce.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the sauced shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
