Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Bang Bang Shrimp
- For extra crispy shrimp, double-fry them. Fry once until almost cooked, then let them rest before a second quick fry.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level. Start with less and add more to taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp.
- For a richer flavor, marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes before frying.
