Firecracker Shrimp Recipe

Firecracker Shrimp Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Slaw

   In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, banana slices, and grated ginger. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to combine. Set aside to marinate.

2. 2

   Make the Chile Aioli

   In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chili paste, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In a shallow dish, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.

4. 4

   Bread the Shrimp

   Dip each shrimp first into the cornstarch mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

5. 5

   Fry the Shrimp

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the crispy shrimp with banana-ginger slaw and drizzle with chile aioli on top.
