Servings: persons

1 pound Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined, Tails Removed
1 cup Cornstarch
4 cups Vegetable Or Canola Oil For Frying
3/4 cups Real, Full-fat Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons Chili Sesame Oil
2 Tablespoons Sriracha Or Chili Paste
2 Tablespoons Rice Wine Or White Vinegar
1- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 stalk Green Onion, White And Green Parts Chopped
Salt, Pepper And Garlic Powder, To Taste

1
Dredge shrimp in cornstarch and deep-fry in 350 degree oil until crisp (frying in cornstarch will barely add color to coating).
2
Drain on paper towels.
3
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, chili oil, Sriracha, rice wine or white vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
4
You may want to adjust the chili oil and Sriracha in accordance with your own heat tolerance; I just find that it needs a decent amount to cut the mayonnaise taste.
5
Add green onion and stir to combine.
6
Transfer half of the mayo mixture to a container with a tight-fitting lid.
7
Drop shrimp into that container (you will need to do this in parts to ensure even coating), cover with lid and shake to coat shrimp in sauce.
8
Repeat with remaining sauce and shrimp.
9
Amount of servings will vary with size of shrimp/quantity per pound.

I have also tried this with a bag of frozen mixed seafood, which usually comes with mussels, cuttlefish, scallops, squid and shrimp it works just as well and adds some variety!
