Creating Firecracker Shrimp can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with buttermilk. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat the Shrimp: Remove shrimp from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
4. Add Breadcrumbs: Dip the coated shrimp into Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the Shrimp: Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Prepare Firecracker Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice until well combined.
8. Coat with Sauce: Toss the crispy shrimp in the Firecracker sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
9. Garnish: Transfer shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your spicy Firecracker Shrimp while they’re crispy and hot!
