Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Mango Salsa

In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the Spicy Mayo

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Sriracha until well combined. Adjust the spice level to your preference.

Bread the Shrimp

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dip each shrimp first into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

Fry the Shrimp

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

Assemble the Dish

On a serving platter, arrange the crispy shrimp. Top with mango salsa, drizzle with spicy mayo, and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
