Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Coating

  • 1 lb Jumbo Shrimp (raw, peeled & deveined)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch (or potato starch)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce and Garnish

  • 1 green onion (finely chopped for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup Japanese mayonnaise (or Hellmann’s mayo)
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (or add more if you prefer it spicier)

Instructions

  1. Marinate Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with buttermilk. Let sit for 10 minutes to help tenderize.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
  3. Coat Shrimp: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Coat the shrimp evenly on both sides with the mixture.
  4. Fry Shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a large 10-inch skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, or to 350°F using a digital thermometer. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden on both sides, about 1.5 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding and do not overcook.
  5. Drain Shrimp: Transfer the fried shrimp to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Toss with Sauce and Serve: Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl and pour the prepared sauce over. Gently toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately while crispy.

Notes

  • Use a digital thermometer to maintain oil temperature at 350°F for perfect frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy shrimp while crispy.
