Best Bang Bang Shrimp
Description
This recipe involves coating peeled and deveined shrimp with cornstarch and frying them in hot oil until they develop a light golden color and crispy texture. Meanwhile, a sauce is made by mixing mayonnaise with Thai sweet chili sauce and hot chili drops to balance creamy, sweet, and spicy notes.
The fried shrimp are drained to remove excess oil and then coated thoroughly in the prepared sauce, which clings to the crispy exterior. Toppings such as sesame seeds, red cabbage, and scallions add a mix of nuttiness, crunch, and freshness, contributing to the dish's texture and visual appeal.
Best served immediately while the shrimp remain crispy, this dish works well as an appetizer or a flavorful addition to a meal with rice or greens.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups peanut oil or other high heat oil for frying
- 1 lb Shrimp shelled and deveined
- 1/2-3/4 cup cornstarch for coating the shrimp
- ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 3 -5 hot chili sauce drops
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp red cabbage diced
- 1 tbsp scallions diced
Instructions
- Mix mayo and sauces for coating shrimp after it is fried.
- Bread shrimp in cornstarch.
- Heat oil in a deep pan (I prefer a dutch oven) or a deep fryer on medium high heat until it has reached 375 degrees.
- Fry the shrimp until lightly brown, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking together.
- Remove shrimp from pan and drain shrimp on paper towel, carefully patting off excess oil.
- Put shrimp in a bowl and coat with the sauce.
- Serve and top with sesame seeds, purple cabbage, scallions, or other favorite garnish.
