Step-by-Step Instructions for Firecracker Shrimp
- Begin by rinsing the shrimp under cold water, removing the vein along the back with a knife. Pat them dry with paper towels to eliminate excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth, adjusting sriracha for your preferred heat.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully add the shrimp to the hot oil in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and crispy.
- Transfer shrimp to a large bowl and add the sauce, tossing gently to coat evenly.
- Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes
Serve immediately after coating for the best experience; firecracker shrimp are at their crispiest right after frying.
