Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 12 oz raw extra large shrimp

Dip Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet Thai chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Mix-ins & Garnish

  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Steam the Shrimp: Place a steamer basket over simmering water and steam the shrimp for about 10 minutes or until they turn white and reddish-pink and curl into a C shape. Avoid overcooking by removing them from heat before the tips and tails touch.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: While the shrimp cool, combine mayonnaise, sweet Thai chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a small bowl, mixing until smooth.
  3. Cool and Chop Shrimp: Allow the steamed shrimp to cool completely. Remove tails if needed, then chop the shrimp into small pieces suitable for mixing into the dip.
  4. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Mix the chopped shrimp thoroughly with the prepared sauce until fully combined.
  5. Add Bread Crumbs and Green Onion: Stir in the panko bread crumbs and chopped green onions evenly to add texture and freshness.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped green onions. For best flavor, serve chilled with crackers or cucumber slices.

Notes

  • Ensure shrimp is fully cooled before mixing to prevent the mayonnaise-based sauce from separating.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferred spice level.
  • Panko breadcrumbs add a pleasant crunch, but can be omitted for a smoother dip.
  • This dip is best served chilled to enhance the flavors.
  • Can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
