Fill a large saucepan or deep-fryer one-third full with oil. Heat to 350u00b0F, or until a cube of bread turns golden in 10 seconds. Deep-fry shrimp, in batches, for about 1 min, or until cooked through and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle shrimp with chili pepper and cilantro leaves. Serve with sweet chili syrup for dipping.
