Freddsters' take on the popular dynamite or bang bang shrimp features perfectly crispy fried shrimp coated in a creamy, spicy salsa macha sauce. The key to success is the corn starch and flour coating that creates an irresistibly crunchy exterior, while the rich mayo-based sauce with salsa macha and sriracha delivers bold, complex flavors that'll have your neighbors raving.
