Spicy Bang Bang Shrimp is the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer — crispy, golden shrimp tossed in a creamy, sweet-heat sauce that’s bold and completely addictive. Every bite delivers crunch on the outside, tender juiciness inside, and a silky coating of signature bang bang flavor.
The shrimp are lightly soaked in buttermilk to tenderize and help the coating adhere. A simple cornstarch dredge creates that delicate, ultra-crispy crust that shatters beautifully when fried. The result is light, airy crunch without heaviness.
The sauce is where the magic happens. Creamy mayonnaise balances sweet chili sauce and fiery sriracha, creating the perfect sweet-spicy harmony. A touch of honey rounds everything out for a glossy, crave-worthy finish.
