This isn’t your average weeknight filler meal. Dynamite Shrimp brings restaurant-level excitement straight to your table — crispy, golden shrimp coated in a creamy, spicy sauce that’s equal parts cool and fiery.

The secret? A double dredge. Seasoned flour, buttermilk, and panko combine to create an ultra-thick, crunchy coating that holds up beautifully. Once fried, the shrimp are tossed in a quick sauce of mayonnaise, sweet chili, and sriracha — creamy with just the right kick.

Finished with scallions and sesame seeds, these shrimp are perfect for game day spreads, party platters, or even as the star protein alongside garlic fried rice. However you serve them, they’ll steal the spotlight.

Ingredients

Preparation

1. Mix dry dredge: In a bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Prepare wet dredge: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg. Place panko in a third bowl.
3. Coat shrimp: Dredge shrimp in flour, dip in buttermilk, then coat with panko. For extra crunch, repeat the process.
4. Fry: Heat oil until a pinch of flour sizzles. Fry shrimp in batches, turning once, until golden. Drain on paper towels.
5. Make sauce: Whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth.
6. Combine carefully: Toss shrimp gently in sauce to avoid breaking the crust.
7. Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy hot!

✨ Tip: Double-coating is the key to that ultra-crunchy bite — and tossing gently ensures the breading stays intact.
