Crispy shrimp coated in a crunchy panko batter, tossed with a creamy, spicy bang bang sauce, and served on a bed of fresh veggies and rice for a quick, flavorful, and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 2 cups)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
  • About 3 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip in eggs, then coat evenly with panko. Press crumbs lightly to adhere.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet about 1 inch deep to 350°F (175°C) or until a breadcrumb sizzles and browns in 30 seconds.
  6. Fry shrimp in batches for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Toss shredded cabbage, carrots, and cucumber in a bowl; add a pinch of salt or splash of lime juice if desired.
  8. Assemble bowls by spooning cooked rice, layering fresh veggies on one side, topping with crispy shrimp, drizzling bang bang sauce, and garnishing with green onions and fresh herbs. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry before breading to ensure crispiness. Maintain oil temperature at medium heat to avoid soggy or burnt shrimp. Coat shrimp with sauce just before serving to keep crunch. For gluten-free, substitute flour and panko with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs. For dairy-free sauce, use vegan mayo or coconut yogurt.
