Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Clean and pat dry the shrimp. Place them in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

Step 4

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

Step 5

Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Fry the shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Serve the fried shrimp immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
