Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (small or medium-sized)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (for soaking)
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional)
  • 12 mini bell peppers, halved and deseeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place shrimp in a bowl with buttermilk and let soak for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cut mini bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar to make the bang bang sauce. Set aside.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
  5. Remove shrimp from buttermilk, let excess drip off, then coat in cornstarch seasoned with salt and pepper.
  6. Fry shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Toss fried shrimp in the bang bang sauce until well coated.
  8. Drizzle mini peppers with olive oil and lightly roast or grill for 5–7 minutes if desired, or keep them raw for extra crunch.
  9. Stuff each mini pepper half with a few coated shrimp.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Mini peppers can be roasted for a softer texture or left raw for extra crunch.
  • Adjust Sriracha in the sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • You can prep the shrimp and sauce ahead of time and assemble before serving.
