Ingredients
- 2 pounds Shrimp medium (31-40 count); deveined and peeled
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons green onion sliced
Instructions
- Place shrimp in a bowl.
- Add buttermilk to the bowl and toss the shrimp to coat them in buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
- Remove each shrimp from the buttermilk bowl and dredge them in the cornstarch mixture making sure the shrimp are completely coated in the mixture.
- Fry the coated shrimp in the oil until golden brown (3-4 minutes).
- Place the fried shrimp on paper towels to drain.
- Make the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise with the hot chili sauce.
- Place the fried shrimp in a bowl and pour the sauce over the shrimp. Toss the shrimp gently until they are coated in the sauce.
- Serve the shrimp with sliced green onions on top.
Notes
- Keep the cornstarch mixture near the oil so that the shrimp go from the cornstarch to the oil without any mess.
- Use a frying or candy thermometer to watch the temperature of the oil. Keep the oil as close to 375 degrees F as possible. If the oil is too hot, the shrimp can burn. If the oil is too cold, the shrimp will absorb excess grease and have a heavy texture.
- Fry only 6-8 shrimp at a time to make sure that each of the shrimp cook evenly and don’t stick together.
