Instructions

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, flour, salt, pepper, and optional paprika.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes each, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
To make the Bang Bang sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder in a bowl until smooth.
Toss the fried shrimp in the sauce until well coated, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions or cilantro, alongside steamed rice or a crisp salad.

Notes

You can adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha you add.
For a healthier alternative, consider baking the shrimp instead of frying them.
Serve with a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
