Method
Shrimp Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Dredging Station
Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Make sure to mix cornstarch with the flour.
Frying Shrimp
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Shrimp
Take each shrimp, first dip it into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, then remove and drain on paper towels.
Lava Sauce Preparation
Make the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Serving
Plate the Shrimp
Arrange the fried shrimp on a serving platter and drizzle generously with the lava sauce before serving.
Optional Garnish
Garnish with lime wedges and chopped cilantro if desired.
