Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 cups canola oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the shrimp. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside for the sauce.
Step 3
Pour the buttermilk into a shallow dish. Place the cornstarch and panko breadcrumbs in separate dishes.
Step 4
Dip each shrimp in the cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Fry the shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Toss the hot cooked shrimp with the sauce you prepared earlier until evenly coated.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions.
