Number Of Ingredients 1

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons sherry, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 tablespoon dried crushed chili flakes, 4 tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 3 tablespoons water, 1

Steps:

Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 F
To make sauce, place the rice wine vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, sherry, garlic, chili flakes and Sriracha in a sauce pan or pot and bring to a rolling boil
Reduce heat to medium and reduce by half
Lower heat to simmer and add the cornstarch-water mixture
Stir until the sauce thickens, makes about 1/2 cup sauce
Remove from heat and let cool
Once sauce is cool, pour into a bowl and mix in mayo, lime zest and juice
Set aside
In a bowl, combine egg and milk
In another shallow bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch and breadcrumbs
Bread the shrimp by first coating with the egg mixture then the breadcrumb mixture, then back again into the egg and finish in the breadcrumbs
Arrange the coated shrimp on a plate and pop them into the fridge for at least 10-15 minutes to help the breading stick while frying
When oil is hot, fry shrimp 2-3 minutes or until golden brown
Drain on rack or paper towels
When all the shrimp have been fried, drop into a large bowl
Spoon sauce over shrimp and stir gently to coat
Serve with lime wedges alongside
