For extra crispy shrimp, consider using a mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch (1.5 cups flour and 0.5 cup cornstarch).
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in both the flour mixture and the sauce to control the spice level. Start with less and add more to taste.
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process for even cooking.
Serve immediately after coating with sauce to maintain the shrimp's crispiness.

    The sauce is perfectly balanced – not too hot, but with a great depth of flavor.

  • Pinkie Bradtke

    Next time, I'll try adding a little smoked paprika to the flour mixture for a smoky twist.
