Fried Shrimp

Sriracha Crema

Esquites Corn

Garnish

Method

Fried Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. In another bowl, whisk the egg and water together.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until thoroughly coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Sriracha Crema

  1. 4

    Make the Crema

    In a small bowl, combine sour cream, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust sriracha to taste.

Esquites Corn

  1. 5

    Cook the Corn

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sweet corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly caramelized.

  2. 6

    Mix the Esquites

    Remove from heat and stir in mayonnaise, the juice of the lime, cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro until well combined.

Garnish

  1. 7

    Finish the Dish

    Plate the fried shrimp and top with esquites corn. Drizzle with sriracha crema and garnish with additional sriracha and cilantro as desired.
