Bangin Good Shrimp
Description
The shrimp are coated with cornstarch to give a slight crispness when seared in hot oil for about three minutes, resulting in juicy shrimp with a subtle crust. The sauce combines light mayonnaise with sweet and spicy components from Thai sweet chili sauce and sriracha, providing a balanced creamy heat that clings to the shrimp.
The base of shredded iceberg or butter lettuce and purple cabbage adds a crisp, fresh contrast to the warm shrimp, making the dish refreshing yet satisfying. The scallions sprinkled on top contribute a mild onion aroma and texture.
This preparation works well as a light main course or appetizer, especially if you prefer a blend of spicy, sweet, and creamy elements with seafood and crunchy vegetables.
