Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 ½ pounds fresh peeled deveined, tail-off 31/40 shrimp
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon garlic granules
- 1 tablespoon onion granules
- coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Bang Bang sauce
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sriracha, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and mix it in completely. Let it marinate at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the Bang Bang Sauce for the shrimp.
- In a wide shallow bowl or a 9” cake tin, mix together the cornstarch, garlic granules, onion granules, and salt.
- Remove the shrimp a handful at a time and place it in a colander to remove as much excess buttermilk marinade as possible.
- Next, add the shrimp to the cornstarch mixture and toss it around until completely coated.
- Place the shrimp in a separate colander and shake to remove excess cornstarch.
- Add all the shrimp a few at a time so they don’t clump in the oil and cook while frequently gently stirring for 60 to 90 seconds or until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Set the shrimp on some paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Repeat the process until all the shrimp are breaded and fried.
- Add the shrimp to a large bowl along with 2/3 cup of bang bang sauce and toss with optional sliced green onions until coated.
- Place the bang bang shrimp on a plate of optional julienne butter leaf lettuce.
- Garnish with optional sliced green onions and additional bang bang sauce.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This is meant to be eaten as soon as it’s done, being tossed in the sauce.
- How to Store: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover and freeze once they are cooked for up to 3 months. Go directly from the freezer to the oven, spread out evenly on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until hot and cooked.
- How to Reheat: Place the desired amount of bang bang shrimp evenly spread on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 375° for 5-7 minutes or until hot.
- You’ll know the shrimp is cooked when it forms a C. If it is a tight C where the ends are connecting, they can start to get tough, so observe.
- Once you start cooking the shrimp in batches, keep the heat turned up so that it maintains a 375° temperature. The cold shrimp will cause the oil temp to drop, so be sure to do this.
- If the breading is falling off while frying, that means the oil is not hot enough.
- You will need enough cooking oil to fill your pot by 2 inches.
- The garlic and onion granules can be substituted for powder.
