Ingredients :

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  1. Whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha in a medium bowl until smooth.
  2. Place the cornstarch and salt in a shallow bowl and toss the shrimp until evenly coated.

  4. Fry the shrimp in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  6. Toss the warm shrimp immediately in the sauce bowl until fully coated.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

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.
