Method
Boom Boom Shrimp Directions
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Breading
In another bowl, mix together the cornstarch, flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Coat the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge each shrimp in the breading mix until well coated.
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).
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Boom Boom Sauce
In a bowl, combine sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth.
Serve
Toss the fried shrimp in the boom boom sauce to coat, then garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
