Preparation Steps
- Peel, devein, and remove the tails from 1 pound of shrimp. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 cups of buttermilk with 1 teaspoon of Sriracha sauce. Add shrimp and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of corn starch, 0.5 cup of panko bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, combine 0.33 cup of mayonnaise, 1.5 teaspoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of Thai sweet chili sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of garlic chili sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of Sriracha, and 1 tablespoon of agave nectar. Whisk until smooth.
- Heat several inches of oil to 350°F in a large pan or deep fryer.
- Drain the shrimp from the marinade, dredge in the corn starch mixture until well-coated.
- Fry half of the coated shrimp in hot oil for about 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer fried shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Toss the fried shrimp with half of the prepared sauce until evenly coated. Reserve the other half for drizzling later.
- Shred half a head of iceberg lettuce and arrange it in a serving bowl. Top with sauced Bang Bang Shrimp and garnish with sliced scallions.

Notes
Best enjoyed fresh from the fryer. Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For freezing, lay shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag, lasting up to 2 months.
