Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Add cornstarch to the shrimp and toss until they are fully coated. This will help the shrimp get a crispy texture when fried.

Bang Bang Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Frying the Shrimp

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain the Shrimp

    Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Combine with Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the fried shrimp with the Bang Bang sauce until they are evenly coated.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the Bang Bang Shrimp on a plate, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
