Bang Bang Shrimp

This Bang Bang Shrimp recipe features perfectly crispy shrimp coated in a flavorful sauce, making it a delicious dish for any gathering or dinner.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Begin by rinsing the shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the buttermilk marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow this to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • While the shrimp marinates, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice in a separate bowl until well combined. Adjust the sriracha according to your heat preference. Set aside.
  • Set up a breading station with flour and panko breadcrumbs in two separate bowls. Take each shrimp from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge it first in the flour, then in the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the crispy shrimp with the Bang Bang sauce. Toss gently until the shrimp are evenly coated. Serve with extra sauce on top and garnish if desired.

Notes

Choose large, fresh shrimp for better texture and flavor. Adjust the spice level of the sauce according to your preference. This dish can be served in various ways.
