Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour.

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.

  5. 5

    Toss the Shrimp
