A crispy, creamy, and slightly spicy shrimp dish inspired by the Cheesecake Factory’s famous bang bang shrimp. This easy homemade recipe delivers a perfect crunch with a balanced sweet and spicy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying (canola oil preferred)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions or chives, sesame seeds, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 1 pound of large shrimp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup cornstarch.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until smooth.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet to a depth of about 2 inches and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Coat shrimp one at a time in the flour-cornstarch mixture, dip into beaten eggs, then coat again in the flour mixture for a double layer.
  6. Carefully place shrimp in hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels or a cooling rack.
  7. While shrimp fry, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1-2 teaspoons sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon rice vinegar.
  8. Place fried shrimp in a large bowl, pour sauce over, and gently toss until coated but not soggy.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

Keep shrimp dry before coating for maximum crispiness. Double dredge shrimp for a sturdy crust. Maintain oil temperature around 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt coating. Do not overcrowd the pan. Toss shrimp in sauce just before serving to keep crispiness. Sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge; bring to room temperature before use.
