Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes
Total: 30 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup of buttermilk
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 tablespoon of Sriracha sauce
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the shrimp and toss well to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with salt.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.

  4. Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Coat each shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

  5. Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  6. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, and Sriracha sauce to make the bang bang sauce.

  7. Serve the crispy shrimp with the bang bang sauce, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
