Cómo preparar Bang Bang Shrimp
- **Make the Bang Bang Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce, and 2-4 tablespoons sriracha (or your preferred hot sauce), adjusting to your desired spice level. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 3, to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Prepare the Shrimp:** Pat 1 pound of large shrimp (peeled and deveined) completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving extra crispy shrimp.
- **Dredge the Shrimp:** In a shallow dish, place 1/2 cup cornstarch. Dredge each shrimp in the cornstarch, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- **Deep Fry the Shrimp:** Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the shrimp in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- **Drain and Toss:** Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- **Coat with Sauce:** Once the shrimp have cooled slightly, add them to the prepared Bang Bang sauce and gently toss to coat evenly.
- **Serve:** Serve immediately in a bed of crisp lettuce, shredded cabbage, and baby spinach. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions for added freshness and visual appeal.
