Ingredients to Make Your Shrimp Bang Bang!
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this tasty adventure:
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Sriracha (or more if you’re feeling spicy)
- Oil for frying
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that you’ve got all your ingredients lined up and ready to rumble, it’s time to turn those shrimp into something extraordinary! Follow these simple steps:
- Start by heating your oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. You want to make sure it’s nice and hot because no one enjoys soggy shrimp!
- Set up your dredging station: one bowl for flour, another for buttermilk, and a third for panko breadcrumbs. Get those hands ready for some serious work!
- Take each shrimp, coat it in flour, dip into the buttermilk, and then roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until it’s golden and crispy. You’re on your way to shrimp perfection!
- Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Flip them halfway to ensure even browning!
- While the shrimp is frying, whip up your magical Bang Bang sauce by combining mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha in a bowl. Adjust to your spice level—go wild if you can handle it!
- Once the shrimp are beautifully golden, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. We’re drying off that extra oil, so no greasy fingers!
- Toss the crispy shrimp in the Bang Bang sauce until they’re nicely coated. Serve them hot, garnished with chopped green onions, and watch your friends disappear as they dig into this scrumptious delight!
And there you have it! You’ve transformed simple shrimp into an explosion of flavors that will make everyone at your table happy. Don’t forget to snap a pic for social media before they vanish—because let’s be real, you’ll want to brag about your culinary conquest!
