Calories: 192kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined, tails removed
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ cup corn starch or substitute with potato starch/tapioca starch
- Avocado oil for frying shrimp
- 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped for garnish
- 4 ounces bang bang sauce
Instructions
- Make the marinade by combining buttermilk, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, mix well to combine. Pour over peeled and deviled shrimp and stir to coat. Set aside while you start preheating your oil.
- Remove shrimp from the marinade one at a time, letting excess marinade drip off. Dip both sides in cornstarch until fully coated, tap off the excess and arrange breaded shrimp on a platter.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a dutch oven or pot to 375˚F.
- Fry shrimp in a few batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, crispy and cooked through (turn halfway if needed). Use a strainer to transfer shrimp to rest on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add to a bowl and drizzle the bang bang sauce. Gently toss to combine, sprinkle with chives or use green onions. Serve immediately.
