Equipment

  • deep skillet or dutch oven
  • wire rack
  • kitchen thermometer

Ingredients

For the Shrimp

  • 1 lb Large Shrimp, Peeled and Deveined
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 Large Eggs, Beaten
  • Vegetable Oil, For Frying

For the Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Honey

For Garnish

  • 2 Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and honey until smooth. Set the bang bang sauce aside.
  • Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, gluten free flour, salt, and pepper. Place the beaten eggs in a separate bowl.
  • Dip each shrimp into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornstarch mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly. Set the coated shrimp on a wire rack.
  • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Fry the shrimp in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Place the warm crispy shrimp in a large bowl. Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the top and gently toss until every shrimp is lightly coated.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately as an appetizer or over steamed rice for a full dinner.
