- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

- Dip each shrimp first into the buttermilk, then coat it in cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
- Fry the shrimp in batches in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

- Once all the shrimp are fried, toss them in the Bang Bang sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve the shrimp over a bed of spring mix lettuce and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the spiciness of the sauce.
- You can use larger shrimp, but be sure to adjust the frying time accordingly to ensure they are cooked through.
