Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Ensure your shrimp are peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, mix cornstarch with salt and pepper to taste.
Coating the Shrimp
- Dredge the shrimp in the cornstarch mixture one by one, ensuring they are well-coated. Shake off the excess cornstarch.
Frying
- In a frying pan, heat enough oil for frying until it’s hot but not smoking—about 350°F (175°C) is ideal.
- Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Making the Sauce
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and garlic powder until smooth.
Tossing and Garnishing
- In a larger mixing bowl, add the fried shrimp and drizzle with the sauce. Gently toss until the shrimp are well-coated.
- Serve the shrimp on a platter and sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish.
Notes
If you have leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Best reheated in an oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
