step 1
Make the Bang bang sauce by combining the Mayonnaise (170 g), Chili Sauce (4 Tbsp), and Sriracha (1 tsp).
step 2
Pour the Buttermilk (240 mL) and juice from Lemon (1) over the Shrimp (225 g) and set aside for 30 minutes to marinate.
step 3
Mix the Corn Starch (80 g) and All-Purpose Flour (1 Tbsp) together.
step 4
Heat 2 cups of Canola Oil (as needed) in a fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
step 5
Strain the shrimp and then dredge the shrimp in the cornstarch mixture.
step 6
Shake off any excess dredge and deep fry the shrimp for 4 minutes. Carefully remove the shrimp from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels.
step 7
Warm the Flour Tortillas (3) on a griddle or in a pan.
step 8
Toss the crispy bang bang shrimp in the sauce and coat well.
step 9
Fill the warm tortillas with Shredded Iceberg Lettuce (70 g) and then top with the Bang Bang shrimp, Tomatoes (180 g), Scallions (to taste), and Sour Cream (2 Tbsp).
