Step-by-Step Instructions
To start my Bang Bang shrimp journey, I first prepare the sauce by whisking together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. The moment I combine these ingredients, I can’t help but take a little taste; the sauce is creamy with just the right amount of kick! Next, I set the sauce aside while I focus on the shrimp. I pour the cornstarch into a shallow dish because this will give my shrimp that amazing crispy coating that I love so much. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
