Bonefish Bang Bang Shrimp

INGREDIENTS 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1/2 cup mayo, I recommend Hellman’s 
1/4 cup Thai Sweet Chili Sauce 
4-8 drops Sriracha Hot Sauce 
1 teaspoon peanut butter 
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
1/8 teaspoon black pepper 
1 cup corn starch 
2 eggs 
6 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil 
1/2 of a green onion, diced and lettuce for garnish, if desired 

DIRECTIONS 
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. 

Place corn starch in a shallow dish like a cake pan. 

In another cake pan, lightly whisk two eggs together to create an egg wash. 

Dip each piece of shrimp in corn starch to coat, then dip in the egg wash to coat. 

When all the shrimp have been coated in corn starch and dipped in egg, heat 6-8 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet on high heat. When the oil is nice and hot, CAREFULLY add the shrimp to the pan. You may need to cook the shrimp in two batches so that you don’t overcrowd the pan. 

The shrimp cook fast! When the bottoms of the shrimp are crispy, flip the shrimp so that the other side can cook. This should only take about 30 seconds-1 minute per side if the oil is nice and hot. 

Remove the cooked shrimp to a paper towel lined plate. 

In a small bowl, whisk together the Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, Sriracha Sauce, Mayo, and Peanut Butter. 

When the mixture is smooth, carefully toss the shrimp in it. You may not need all of the sauce, it just depends on how “saucy” you want the shrimp. 

To present it, place one large leaf of iceberg lettuce on a plate. Place the shrimp on top, then sprinkle chopped green onion on top. Enjoy!

Notes from Jill's Kitchen: I made this for our 1st anniversary because it is Sam's favorite food from his favorite restaurant. However, we had just returned from a 7 day cruise, so eating out wasn't really in the budget. Solution- make our own! I was 3 months pregnant and had just returned from said cruise when I made this, so I don't remember too much about the actual recipe. I think we liked it? Well, I know we liked it, but I'm not sure if we loved it. But maybe we did? I think? I should probably make this one again now that I am thinking more clearly.
