Ingredients

  • 500 g medium-large shrimps shelled and deveined
  • Vegetable oil or any cooking oil
  • Lettuce optional, to serve

For the Dynamite Sauce:

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 4-6 tbsp Sriracha you may add more if you like
  • 1 tbsp honey

For the batter:

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ cup very cold water

For the coating:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Mix the sauce and do a taste test. If the taste is fine with you, you can set the sauce aside in the fridge. If not, you can make adjustments.

  2. Prepare the batter: Mix the ingredients for the batter. Add in shrimp and mix well to coat.

  3. Heat at least 1 inch oil in a deep pan in a medium heat and wait for it to be hot enough.

  4. Prepare the shrimps: In a bowl, mix the ingredients for the coating. Working in batches (if necessary), remove shrimps from the batter and transfer to the bowl with the coating mixture and make sure to coat the battered shrimps well. When shrimps are well coated, remove from the coating mixture and set aside. Repeat until all shrimps are coated.

  5. When oil is hot enough (about 350°F), fry shrimp in batches for 2 minutes (or until golden brown) and transfer to a stack of paper towels (or strainer) to remove excess oil.

  6. When all shrimps have been cooked, carefully mix the shrimp and the sauce.

  7. Make sure to consume the dynamite shrimps immediately.
