Ingredients
Method
- In a small mixing bowl, add sriracha sauce, Thai sweet chili sauce, and mayo. Mix to combine. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until needed.
- In another small bowl, mix together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the shrimp in the buttermilk mixture.
- In a shallow dish, add the cornstarch. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and coat them in the cornstarch. Remove any excess and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp.
- In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat 2 inches of canola oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F. Fry the shrimp in batches, for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them over halfway through the cooking process.
- Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked shrimp and coat them with half of the bang bang sauce. Toss with a spatula until evenly coated.
- Serve as an appetizer or make tacos. To make bang bang shrimp tacos, heat up a few corn tortillas, add sliced purple cabbage, cooked bang bang shrimp, diced tomatoes, more bang bang sauce, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
