Start by ensuring your shrimp is peeled and deveined. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve that perfect crispy texture.

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. This creamy concoction is what makes our Firecracker Shrimp special!

Gently toss the shrimp in the sauce until they’re evenly coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. This not only enhances the flavor but helps the coating stick during frying.

In a frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of shrimp into the oil; if it sizzles, you’re good to go!

Working in batches, carefully add the shrimp to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Sprinkle with chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor and color. Serve immediately with any leftover sauce on the side for dipping.
