Sweet Chili Party Shrimp

I have a version of this shrimp at many different chain restaurants, it’s usually called “dynamite” or “bang bang” shrimp and it is always a hit at any party when I make it! It’s got great sweet, spicy and acidic components. That’s why I call my version Sweet Chili Party Shrimp. It will be demolished about as fast as you can fry it! If you want to turn it into a complete meal serve it over sushi rice with extra sauce on top!

Ingredients:

1 pound large raw shrimp (sliced in half, lengthwise)

4-6 cups vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying

1 cup Cornstarch

Sliced Scallions

Sesame seeds

Sweet chili sauce

1/3 cup mayo

1TS sriracha

1TS rice wine vinegar

1 tsp Gochujang

Placed cooked shrimp on a paper towel and one shrimp is all cook toss in Sweet chili sauce and add scallion and sesame seeds for garnish. Best enjoyed immediately
