Bang Bang Shrimp is a deliciously crispy and spicy appetizer featuring perfectly fried shrimp tossed in a creamy, sweet, and spicy homemade bang bang sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • Salt and pepper, for seasoning
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch
  • Oil for frying (enough to fill pot about 5 inches deep)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional for garnish: chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well blended. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup whole milk and 1 large egg until fully combined, creating the batter base for the shrimp coating.
  3. Season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and pepper. Add them to the milk and egg mixture, tossing well to ensure each shrimp is completely coated.
  4. Pour enough oil into a heavy-bottomed deep pot to a depth of about 5 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s hot enough for frying.
  5. Place 3/4 cup cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Working in batches, use tongs to lift each shrimp from the milk mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge the shrimp thoroughly in cornstarch to form a light, even coating.
  6. Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp turn golden brown and are cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove shrimp and drain them on paper towels. Repeat until all shrimp are cooked.
  7. Transfer the fried shrimp to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the shrimp and toss gently to coat each piece evenly. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor and presentation.
  8. Serve the bang bang shrimp immediately as a flavorful appetizer or snack.
