Ingredients

Scale

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten with 1 tbsp water
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure crisp frying.
Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip into egg wash, then coat in panko breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha until smooth.
Drain fried shrimp on paper towels, toss them in the sauce until well-coated, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
