Mix together the bang bang sauce ingredients in a small bowl until well-combined. Refrigerate the sauce until you’re ready to use it. Note: you can prepare the sauce mixture up to 4 days in advance.

Remove the shrimp from its packaging. If the shrimp still contains its shells, remove and discard the shells. You can also remove the tails if you’d like, but I leave them on. If the shrimp has a lot of excess moisture on it, pat it dry with a paper towel or transfer the raw shrimp to a plate lined with a paper towel.

Whisk two eggs in a small bowl until they are well-beaten. Transfer the flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir together until everything is well-combined.

Dip the shrimp in the egg mixture, followed by the flour mixture, ensuring each of the shrimp are well-coated.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat and add 3 tablespoons of avocado oil or high-temperature cooking oil of choice (I don’t recommend olive oil). Allow the skillet to heat up for a few minutes, until it is sizzling hot. You want the temperature of the oil to be above 400 degrees F.

Carefully place the breaded shrimp on the hot surface in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is golden brown, crispy and cooked through. You can tell shrimp is fully cooked once it curls and turns opaque all the way through. Avoid overcooking the shrimp so that you end up with tender shrimp. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to do this in 2 to 3 batches. Mine take 2 batches in a 12-inch skillet.

Serve crispy shrimp with bang bang sauce drizzled on top, or keep the sauce in a bowl to be used as dipping sauce. If you'd like, garnish the shrimp with chopped green onions. I like serving the shrimp with fresh lemon wedges or lime wedges for a little drizzle of fresh lime juice or lemon juice.
