Ingredients
- 12 oz shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail-off)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ tbsp garlic
- 1 tbsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Canola oil for frying
Sauce
- ½ cup mayo
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- ½ Tbsp Sriracha
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
Instructions
For the sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Set aside.
For the shrimp
- Heat one to two inches of oil in a large cast-iron skillet until simmering.
- While oil is heating, prepare the breading in two shallow dishes. In one, whisk together the eggs. In another, combine the cornstarch, flour, and spices.
- Dredge the shrimp in the eggs first, then the cornstarch mixture, pressing well to adhere.
- Drop them into the hot oil and cook until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Place on a paper towel or wire rack to drain.
- Toss in the sauce, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
Warning: the sauce is a little spicy. If you don’t like heat, cut the sriracha back to a teaspoon. If you like it hot, add a whole tablespoon.
