Ingredients
- VOLCANO SAUCE:
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- BREADED SHRIMP:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and no tail
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- vegetable oil, for frying
Method
- Bring the buffalo sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sriracha, garlic and honey to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat and let it bubble until it coats a spoon, then swirl in the butter, red pepper flakes and parsley, remove the pan from the heat, and tip the glaze into a large bowl.
- In one shallow bowl stir the cornstarch together with its salt and black pepper; in a second, smaller deep bowl beat the eggs with their own salt and black pepper.
- Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and bring it to 350°F.
- Dip a few shrimp at a time in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat them in the cornstarch mixture and shake off the excess.
- Fry the shrimp in two batches without crowding the pan for 6 to 7 minutes, until golden, and drain them on a wire rack.
- Toss the fried shrimp through the glaze until every piece is coated and serve them hot.
