Bang Bang Shrimp is a favorite in my house because it tastes just like the restaurant version but is so easy to make in your own kitchen. The combination of the crunchy coating and that signature addictive sauce is truly something special.

My best tip for success is to make sure your oil is hot enough before you start frying. You want that quick sear so the shrimp stay juicy on the inside while getting perfectly crispy on the outside.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha together in a small bowl until smooth, then set it aside.

  2. 2

    Pour the buttermilk into a shallow bowl and put the cornstarch in a separate bowl.

  3. 3

    Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk and then toss it in the cornstarch until well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat about an inch of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

  5. 5

    Fry the shrimp in small batches for about two minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.

  7. 7

    Place the cooked shrimp in a large bowl, drizzle the sauce over the top, and toss gently to coat.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

💡 Tips

Serve these shrimp over a bed of crisp lettuce or with a side of steamed rice to balance the sauce. Keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to two days, though they are definitely best enjoyed fresh and hot.
