Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by whisking together sweet chili sauce, tamari/soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, lemon juice, lemon zest, water, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the shrimp by seasoning the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and pepper. Combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch in a bowl, then coat each shrimp in this mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
- Fry each shrimp by dipping into the beaten egg, and place them in the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Coat the fried shrimp with the prepared sauce in the skillet, tossing until thoroughly coated for about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the Firecracker Shrimp immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chives alongside fluffy rice.

Notes
For the best texture, serve Firecracker Shrimp immediately after coating. Adjust Sriracha to taste for spice preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
