If you have been with me during my first few years of blogging, you may remember me posting a recipe for Dynamite Shrimps. Well, I’ve updated that recipe and I have it here. There’s nothing wrong with the old one, but I just want to make it more delicious for you and for me. 😀
Dynamite Shrimps is one of the dishes that I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of eating. I could really eat these scrumptious shrimps everyday. The problem comes in when it’s time to remove its shells and all the cleaning job I have to do. Yes, I can buy the ready to be cooked shrimps or I can ask somebody to do the cleaning stuff for me, but I prefer doing them myself. So yeah, I ended up doing the things I don’t like much when it comes to shrimps.
Enough with the cleaning stuff and let’s talk about these INSANELY DELICIOUS Dynamite Shrimps.
To those who are not aware, Dynamite Shrimps are basically fried shrimps that are coated with a sauce called dynamite sauce. My version of dynamite sauce is made of mayo, Sriracha and honey. In my version, the fried shrimps are coated with a wet batter and then coated with a dry mixture. Of course, you can adjust the batter and coating for your shrimps. The star here is the dynamite sauce.
Since it is called Dynamite Shrimps, for me, the sauce should be spicy. But again, you can adjust it according to your taste.
TIPS:
- These are perfect if consumed immediately.
- If not planning to consume immediately, do not mix the shrimps and the sauce – only mix them just before serving. Although, I must say that the shrimps might not be as perfect as when it was cooked the first time.
- Make sure to do a taste test before mixing the sauce with the shrimps.
- If you have leftovers, you may use them in sandwich or tortilla wraps – I’ve tried Dynamite Shrimps Tortilla Wrap and OMG it was amazingly good!
- You may finish the whole thing by yourself, have somebody with you or NOT. 😛

The following photos are from the old post and as you can see, I overdid the dynamite sauce. 😀 This was my first time making it back in 2013. Oh how time flies.
I hope you can try the recipe and let me know. I’ve shared a video on my YouTube channel. Please don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe. See you there! 😉
