Bang Bang Shrimp
First marketed as a starter, we're adding it as an entree.
Ingredients:
Sauce
1/2 cup Mayo
1 Tablespoon Sriracha
2 teaspoons honey
Salt
Shrimp
Vegetable oil for frying
2 large eggs
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup corn starch
S&P
1.25 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined and cut, bite-sized
scallions for garnish
Procedures:
Make The Sauce: Mix the mayo, sriracha, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl and set aside.
Cook the shrimp: Heat 2" of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350o. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Whisk the flour, corn starch and 1 teaspoon, each, salt and pepper in another bowl.
Working in batches, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, dip in the beaten eggs, then return to the flour mixture, turning to form a thick crust. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil until lightly golden, 1-2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
Toss the shrimp with the prepared sauce. Plate the shrimp and garnish with scallions.
