  1. Pat shrimp dry. Toss in cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pan to 375°F.
  3. Mix mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a large bowl.
  4. Fry shrimp in batches until golden and crispy. Don't crowd the pan.
  5. Drain on paper towels for 30 seconds.
  6. While still hot, toss shrimp in the sauce until coated.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions.

Notes

  • Crispy coating: Cornstarch makes it crispier than flour. Make sure shrimp are dry.
  • Oil temp: Too cool = greasy shrimp. Use a thermometer.
  • Air fryer: Spray with oil, air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway.
  • Sauce heat: Adjust sriracha to taste. Start with less, add more.
  • Serve on: Lettuce cups, rice, or as an appetizer with toothpicks.
