Thai Bang-Bang Popcorn Shrimp

[Blank]

Sweet, spicy, hot, and with heavy horseradish seafood sauce too!! Bald head is sweating big time right about now.

Ok Blank, shrimp is in the refrigerator now in waiting for our Easter feast. I've had good success on my smoker with a cajon seasoning / garlic powder/ a bit of olive oil. Please share your recipe.

This was last minute, as I didn't plan ahead, and I like the small frozen popcorn shrimp anyway. It's really best with fresh shrimp, that's rinsed, soaked in buttermilk (you can make your own with regular milk and a little lemon juice), and then dredge in corn starch. Quick fry until it just starts to curl into a "C", not all the way round like an "O". That's usually a sign that your shrimp is overcooked.

Seafood sauce I just use ketchup, sweet relish, Worcestershire, and as much prepared horseradish as I can stand. When it makes your eyes water and sinuses run, it's perfect!!

Bang Bang sauce is a real personal taste choice - I like just Thai sweet chili sauce, mayo, and sriracha. Adjust the creaminess with the amount of mayo.
