Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup buttermilk, (or 1 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha, or to taste
  • 2 cups plain panko crumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tail removed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the sweet chili sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together the panko, onion powder, garlic salt, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, and sriracha. Set aside.
  • Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip a shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, using a fork to remove any excess batter.
  • Immediately place the shrimp into the panko mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Place the coated shrimp into the hot skillet.
  • Work in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Allow each shrimp to cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are crispy.
  • Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat the process until all the shrimp have been cooked.
  • For the sweet chili sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined.
  • Once all the shrimp are cooked, you can either toss them in the sauce to coat, serve the sauce as a dipping sauce on the side, or pour it over the serving platter. The choice is yours!
