Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, pour buttermilk. Dip each shrimp first in buttermilk, then coat with the flour mixture. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Spicy Cream Sauce

    In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the fried shrimp on a serving platter. Drizzle the spicy cream sauce over the top or serve on the side. Garnish with chopped green onions.
