Boom Boom shrimp are one of my favorite appetizers. Crispy shrimp coated in a sweet, spicy and slightly garlicky cream sauce that is both decadent and addicting.
Clean and devein shrimp. Rinse gently and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, mix together cornstarch, garlic powder and salt.
Add shrimp and gently coat in cornstarch mixture.
Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil.
Once hot, add shrimp in a single layer.
Cook for 3 minutes, and flip.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until shrimp is fully cooked. Shrimp should be plump, opaque and lightly browned.
Drain shrimp on a paper-towel lined plate.
Place drained shrimp in a bowl and add Boom Boom sauce. Gently coat in sauce and garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately.
