In a large bowl mix together the panko, onion powder, garlic salt, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
In a separate medium size bowl, mix together the buttermilk, flour, cornstarch, egg, sriracha and set aside.
Heat a skillet up with about ½” of vegetable oil. You want the skillet over medium-high heat so that it crisps the panko coating as soon as the shrimp is placed into the skillet.
Begin by dipping a shrimp into the buttermilk mixture. Using a fork, remove any excess batter off. Immediately place into the panko mixture, ensuring to coat very well. Place into the skillet.
You’ll need to work in batches and be sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
Allow each shrimp to cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flip and allow to cook halfway through.
Remove the shrimp as soon as both sides are golden brown. Set on a paper towel to drain and repeat the process until all the shrimp has been used.
For the chili sauce, combine all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until combined.
Once the shrimp has all cooked, you can either toss the shrimp to coat in the bowl, serve the sauce as a side to dunk in or pour over your serving platter. The option is up to you!
