Directions
- Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar or lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust the heat or sweetness to preference. Set aside.
- Prep & Coat the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with buttermilk to coat. In a separate shallow bowl, mix together cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, pressing lightly so the coating sticks evenly.
- Fry the Shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or sauté pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Sauce It Up: While still warm, toss the fried shrimp in the prepared Bang Bang Sauce until thoroughly coated. This ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
- Garnish & Serve: Transfer the saucy shrimp to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions for freshness and color. Serve immediately as an appetizer or over rice, noodles, or a fresh salad for a main course.
