Ingredients
- 1 cup plain or Greek yogurt
- 4 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons honey to taste
Coating:
- 1 pound large raw peeled and deveined shrimp with or without tails
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2-3 large eggs beaten
- 1 ¼ cups panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- Sliced green onions optional garnish
Instructions
- Combine the yogurt, sweet chili sauce, sriracha and honey in a bowl and whisk until fully combined. Set aside for now.
- Rinse the shrimp in cold water and then blot dry with paper towels.
- Lay out 3 shallow bowls. In the first bowl, mix together the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Whisk together the eggs in the second bowl. Put the panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
- Working in small batches, coat the shrimp in the flour-cornstarch mixture, shaking off the excess, dip it into the egg, shaking off the excess again, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs until coated.
- Once your shrimp is all coated, place ¼ cup cooking oil in a frying pan and heat it until it reaches 375 degrees or until it is shimmering and a drop of water placed in it will sizzle.
- Fry the shrimp on medium to medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and opaque inside.
- Drain the shrimp on paper towels. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to do multiple batches of shrimp.
- Once cooked and while still hot, toss the shrimp with the yogurt mixture until well coated.
- Serve warm and garnished with sliced green onions, optional.
