  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

To make Bang Bang Shrimp, follow these easy steps:

  1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for about 10 minutes. This helps to tenderize the shrimp and adds flavor.
  2. Prepare the Breading: In another bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.
  4. Dredge the Shrimp: Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Mix until well combined.
  7. 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.
  8. Plate the Dish: Transfer the coated shrimp onto a serving platter.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an attractive presentation.

With these steps, you’ll have perfectly crispy and flavorful Bang Bang Shrimp ready to be served!
