Ingredients
  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • vegetable oil (enough to fill a saucepan 2 to 3 inches deep)
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 to 3 Tbsps sriracha (more or less according to spice preference)
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (I used Ben's microwave rice pouches)
  • Optional: chives, sesame seeds
Instructions

  1. Put the shrimp in a bowl with the buttermilk. Put the cornstarch in a separate bowl. Fill a saucepan with vegetable oil 2 to 3 inches deep over medium heat.

  2. While the oil heats up, put the mayo, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a bowl and mix until combined. Set another plate out with paper towels to put the shrimp after they are fried.

  3. Once the oil reaches 350 degrees put 6 shrimp in the cornstarch and toss to coat them. Then gently place them in the oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes and put them on the plate lined with paper towels. Repeat frying the remaining shrimp.

  4. Coat the shrimp with the bang bang sauce and serve over the rice. Garnish with chives and sesame seeds if desired.
