Description
A recipe for crispy fried shrimp coated in a sweet and spicy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper.
- In a second shallow dish, whisk together the milk and egg.
- Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.
- While the shrimp cooks, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey.
- Place the cooked shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss gently until fully coated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can double-dip the shrimp in the flour mixture.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level of the sauce.
