- 1 lb jumbo shrimp
- 2 cup buttermilk
- 1½ cup cornstarch
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil (for frying (enough for shallow fry))
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cajun spice
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 g reen onion (finely chopped for garnish)
- ½ cup japanese mayonnaise
- ¼ cup thai sweet chili sauce
- 3 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
Steps
In a medium bowl, combine peeled and deveined shrimp with buttermilk. Let sit for 10 minutes to tenderise.
In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, ginger paste, parsley, sesame oil, garlic, and soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together cornstarch, breadcrumbs, salt, Cajun spice, and black pepper. Dredge the shrimp in this mixture, coating both sides evenly.
In a large skillet (10-inch), heat oil over medium heat to 350°F (≈ 175°C). Fry shrimp in batches for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan and don’t overcook
Transfer cooked shrimp to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the Bang Bang sauce over and gently toss to coat. Garnish with chopped green onion and serve!
