Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make the shrimp extra crispy?

Using cornstarch instead of flour provides a light, airy, and much crispier coating when fried.

Can I bake the shrimp instead of frying?

Yes, bake the coated shrimp at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through, then toss in sauce.

Is Bang Bang Shrimp sauce very spicy?

It has a mild kick from the Sriracha, but the mayonnaise and sweet chili sauce balance the heat perfectly.
