Firecracker Shrimp Appetizer
Spicy Firecracker Shrimp are coated in a light, crunchy coating and tossed in a punchy sauce that brings sweet heat with every bite. It's quick to make and feels like takeout, but better.
Ingredients
For the firecracker sauce:
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili crunch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
For the shrimp:
- 1 pound jumbo raw shrimp peeled and deveined, tail on
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- sesame seeds and chopped fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
- Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the flour and cornstarch to a bag or bowl. Toss the shrimp in the mixture until well coated.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, add the oil.
- Once oil is shimmering, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel just to blot any excess oil, then transfer it to the bowl with the sauce. Toss to coat.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chives. Serve hot.
