Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Method
- In a medium bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for 10 minutes to tenderize.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, and lime juice to make the bang bang sauce.
- Toss the fried shrimp in the sauce until evenly coated. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes
For a lighter version, try air-frying the shrimp or using Greek yogurt instead of mayo in the sauce. Store fried shrimp and sauce separately in airtight containers—they'll keep for 2 days in the fridge.
