Bang Bang Shrimp (firecracker Shrimp)
  1. Combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

  2. Place the shrimp in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over, and stir to make sure all of the shrimp is coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

  3. Working with one shrimp at a time, remove from the buttermilk and let any excess drip off. Coat the shrimp in cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Place on a cooling rack over a baking sheet (to catch any drips).

  4. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy bottomed pan or a cast iron skillet. Heat to about 350ºF.

  5. Add a few of the shrimp to the hot oil, making sure not to crowd them. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then turn and cook the other side. The shrimp should be golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Continue cooking the shrimp in batches until it has all been fried.

  6. Place the cooked shrimp in a bowl and pour the bang bang sauce over the top. Stir gently to combine.

  7. Serve over greens, rice, or an Asian slaw.
