Boom Boom Shrimp

Louisiana Hot Shrimp

Krunchy Shrimp

Method

Boom Boom Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with cornstarch and toss to coat evenly. This will give the shrimp a crispy texture when fried.

  2. 2

    Create the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station: place the beaten egg in one bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in another bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each cornstarch-coated shrimp into the egg, then roll in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Boom Boom Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust sriracha to taste for desired spiciness.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Toss the fried shrimp in the Boom Boom sauce and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Louisiana Hot Shrimp

  1. 7

    Melt the Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. 8

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 9

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 10

    Add Hot Sauce and Seasonings

    Pour in the hot sauce, lemon juice, and cajun seasoning. Stir to coat the shrimp well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 11

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle chopped parsley over the shrimp and serve immediately with crusty bread or over rice.

Krunchy Shrimp

  1. 12

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the shrimp is seasoned.

  2. 13

    Make the Batter

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, and milk until smooth. Add the beaten egg and mix until fully incorporated.

  3. 14

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 15

    Coat and Fry the Shrimp

    Dip each seasoned shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 16

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the shrimp.
