This copycat restaurant shrimp doesn't miss the mark or disappoint. It's spicy, sweet and crispy shrimp that can be served as an appetizer or even as a main dish.
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/4 c. Thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 t. Sriracha
1 lb. shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 c. buttermilk
3/4 c. corn starch
canola oil, for frying
In a small bowl, add mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce and Sriracha; stir.
In another bowl, add shrimp and buttermilk; stir to coat the shrimp; remove shrimp from the buttermilk; allow excess liquid drain off.
Add corn starch to a plate or platter; coat the shrimp in the corn starch.
In a heavy bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, pour 2-3 inches of canola oil; heat to 375 degrees F. Cook the shrimp until lightly brown, 1-2 minutes per side.
Coat fried shrimp in the sauce. Transfer to a bowl or a large platter.
Serve immediately.
