Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp:
- In a bowl, marinate the shrimp in buttermilk for at no more than 30 minutes. This helps to tenderize the shrimp and allows the coating to stick better.
- Make the Coating:
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the Shrimp:
- Remove shrimp from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Fry the Shrimp:
- Heat oil in a small deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until well combined.
- Toss the Shrimp:
- Place the crispy shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss gently until the shrimp are evenly coated.
