Instructions
- Clean the shrimp by rinsing them under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels and set them aside.
- Dynamite shrimp sauce. Combine all the ingredients to prepare the Batter. In a separate small bowl, stir and mix together all the Sauce ingredients. Set aside.
- Add the shrimp into the batter and coat evenly. Heat up a deep-fryer or a pot with oil for deep-frying. Once the oil is heated, carefully drop each shrimp into the oil and deep fry until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon or strainer to transfer them to a working surface or a bowl lined with paper towels.
- Remove the paper towels and add the sauce into the bowl. Toss the shrimp around until they are nicely coated with the dressing. Serve immediately.
Notes
- The best Dynamite Shrimp is made with rock shrimp, as it has a nice crisp texture that's perfect for this recipe.
- However, rock shrimp can be hard to come by unless you visit some expensive seafood specialty stores.
- Regular shrimp or tiger prawns work well as substitutes.
- I always ensure I use Kewpie brand Japanese mayonnaise, which comes in a soft plastic tube with the iconic baby as the label.
- You can find Kewpie in Japanese or Asian supermarkets. If it's not available, any regular mayonnaise works just fine.
- For the sauce, you may also use powdered sugar as the sweetener.
- However, honey is preferred as it gives the sauce a slightly runny consistency, allowing it to coat each shrimp perfectly.
