Ingredients
– 1 pound medium shrimp peeled and deveined
– Kosher salt to taste
– freshly ground black pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup cornstarch
– 2 large eggs beaten for dipping
– 1/4 cup canola oil for frying
– 1/2 cup sweet chili garlic sauce
– 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1-2 tablespoons lemon zest
– 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
– 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
1-Heat canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it’s ready for frying.
2-Season the shrimp with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to bring out their natural taste.
3-Lightly toss the shrimp in cornstarch until coated, then dip them individually into the beaten eggs before adding to the hot oil.
4-Fry 4-6 shrimp at a time until they’re golden brown, which takes about 2-3 minutes. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
5-Wipe out the pan used for frying to keep things clean for the next step.
6-Combine sweet chili garlic sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, garlic salt, ginger, and Sriracha in the pan; bring it to a boil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
7-Add the fried shrimp back into the sauce and toss them until fully coated for that perfect spicy finish.
8-Serve immediately with rice, rice noodles, lettuce wraps, salad, or tortillas to enjoy the full flavors.
