Set them aside and get your frying pan, I love using my cast iron for this.

Step 13

Throw in Safflower oil and heat it up to 400-500 degrees

Step 14

Once your oil is ready throw in two toothpicks (keeps your oil from burning).

Step 15

Next drop in your shrimp and fry them for about 2-4 minutes or until they’re as golden and crispy as you like them

Step 16

Once they’re golden fried drain the excess oil and throw them directly into your Bang Bang Sauce and get them coated with that yummy sauce.

Finish off with more Sriracha and lime if you want and ENJOY!
