1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Marinate shrimp in buttermilk for 15 minutes.
In a bowl, mix cornstarch and flour. Dredge the shrimp in the mixture, coating evenly.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the shrimp until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey to create the bang bang sauce.
Toss the fried shrimp in the sauce until well coated.
To assemble, place jasmine rice in bowls and arrange cucumber slices, avocado, pickled onions, and edamame around the edges.
Pile the bang bang shrimp in the center.
Season vegetables lightly with salt and pepper.
Add sheets of roasted nori on the side and serve immediately.
For extra crunch, double-fry the shrimp by frying once at lower heat and then briefly again at higher heat.
Swap jasmine rice for sushi rice or brown rice if preferred.
Make it spicier by adding extra sriracha to the sauce.
