Spicy Sweet Fried Shrimp Delight: An Incredible 10-Minute Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Oil for frying
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour and paprika. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
- Dip each shrimp first in the buttermilk, then coat it with the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well-covered.
- In a large skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom by about an inch. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the breaded shrimp into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, mix together sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice until well combined.
- In a large bowl, add the fried shrimp and drizzle the sauce over them. Toss to coat thoroughly.
- Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
