1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, egg, and water to create a batter. Dip each shrimp into the batter until well-coated.
2
Fry the Shrimp
In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered shrimp in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp and drain on paper towels.
3
Make the Firecracker Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
4
Toss Shrimp in Sauce
In a large bowl, add the fried shrimp and pour the firecracker sauce over them. Toss gently to coat all the shrimp evenly.
5
Serve
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
