Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients for the sauce together and refrigerate until ready for serving.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. To the bowl add the hot sauce, egg, buttermilk and whisk until you have a smooth batter. 
  3. Add the shrimp to the bowl, toss to make sure each piece is coated in the batter and set aside.
  4. In another bowl add about a cup of Panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Coat each shrimp with breadcrumbs, add more breadcrumbs as needed.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet. Once the oil is hot, fry the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side till they are a light golden brown. You may need to do this in batches so as to not overcrowd the shrimp. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels and pat any extra oil.
  7. Drizzle shrimp with sauce and serve.

Notes

  • Sauce on the Side: To keep that shrimp crispy, serve the Bang Bang sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
  • Heat Level: Adjust the hot sauce in the recipe to match your personal heat tolerance. You're the boss of your spice level!
  • Gluten-Free: Swap out the all-purpose flour and Panko breadcrumbs for gluten-free versions to make this dish friendly for those with dietary restrictions.
  • Baking Option: If you're not in the mood to fry, you can bake these babies at 400°F for about 10 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them; you want crispy, not charred!
  • Double the Sauce: Trust me, this sauce is so good you'll want to put it on everything. Consider making a double batch; it stores well in the fridge.
