To make Bang Bang Shrimp, follow these easy steps:
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for about 10 minutes. This helps to tenderize the shrimp and adds flavor.
- Prepare the Breading: In another bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.
- Dredge the Shrimp: Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
- Fry the Shrimp: Carefully place the breaded shrimp in the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Mix until well combined.
- Toss the Shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked shrimp and drizzle the sauce over them. Toss gently to coat each shrimp with the sauce.
- Plate the Dish: Transfer the coated shrimp onto a serving platter.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an attractive presentation.
