Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Coating

  2. Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.

Step2: Coat the Shrimp

  1. Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Step3: Fry the Shrimp

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

Step4: Make the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, honey, sriracha sauce, and lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Toss the fried shrimp in the honey-sriracha sauce, ensuring they are well coated.

Equipment

Notes

  • Fresh Shrimp: Always use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
  • Crispier Coating: Let the coated shrimp rest for a few minutes before frying to help the batter adhere better.
  • Sauce Variation: For a tangier flavor, add a bit more lemon juice to the sauce.
