Main Ingredients

  • 500 s gram shrimp. Preferred to use fresh if not make sure that frozen is fully thawed
  • Spring onions for garnish
  • Toasted sesame is optional

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sweet chili
  • 2 Tablespoons Sriracha sauce

Batter Ingredients

  • 1 Cup flour more if needed
  • 1/2 Cup starch or corn flour if starch is not available
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 330 ML Soda Water

Instructions
 

  • Mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili, and Sriracha sauce with a whisk.
  • Set sauce aside for flavors to infuse.
  • Taste after 10 minute and then add more Sriracha sauce to increase spiciness.
  • Dry shrimps with paper towel so the batter can stick better.
  • Mix the flour, starch, salt, and baking powder.
  • Bring a skillet of oil to heat.
  • Pour the soda water into the flour mixture and whisk away. If the batter is too thin you can add flour one tablespoon at a time until you get desired consistency. It will remain transparent when you dip the shrimp, you want it to be light and crunchy.
  • Dip the shrimp into the batter, and then immediately move it to the oil.
  • Fry both sides until golden then drain in a colander to get rid of the excess oil.
  • Toss the fried shrimp into the sauce one batch at a time to ensure even distribution of the sauce.
  • Garnish with spring onions and serve.
