Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour and cornstarch together. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C). Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- To assemble, drizzle the sauce over the shrimp or toss them gently to coat. Arrange the shrimp in martini glasses and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Notes
[‘You can bread the shrimp a few hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to fry.’, ‘Start with less sriracha if you’re unsure about the heat and add more to taste.’, ‘Use a wire rack instead of paper towels for draining shrimp to prevent sogginess.’, ‘Make extra sauce to serve on the side for dipping.’, ‘Consider using an air fryer for a healthier alternative.’]
