Crispy, spicy, and flavorful Firecracker Shrimp, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Create the Dipping Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Prepare the Breading Station: In one bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs, and in a third bowl, put the panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, shake off excess, immerse in the eggs, and coat in panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove shrimp and drain on paper towels. Serve alongside the dipping sauce.

Notes

Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the shrimp to ensure they are crispy. For a gluten-free option, substitute normal flour with a gluten-free blend.
