For extra crispy shrimp, consider chilling the breaded shrimp for 15-20 minutes before cooking. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the shrimp to achieve the best golden-brown color and crispy texture. If you prefer a less sweet dipping sauce, adjust the ratio of sweet chili sauce to apricot preserves to your liking.

May 18, 2025The key is to make sure you dry the shrimp really well before breading. Otherwise, the coating won't stick properly.
