Preparation

Step 1

To make the sauce, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey and rice vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside. In a large bowl, combine Panko, onion and garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.

Working one at a time, dip shrimp into buttermilk mixture, then dredge in Panko mixture, pressing to coat.

Working in batches, add shrimp to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

When I read the title I was like wait, doesn’t she have this recipe already? And I know you have a bang bang chicken, but ahhh….updating and re-tweaking the recipe and photos. Great idea. I should probably remake some 2009-2012 recipes that I know are hidden treasures but the pics are so bad no one notices them as is! As always, your pics are gorgeous!

All I need is shrimp, and I’d have everything I’d need to make these! *tempted* SO good
