Working one at a time, dip shrimp in buttermilk and then dredge in corn flour mix. Note: to prevent caking of the hand and to avoid cornstarch clumping to the shrimp use one hand to pick shrimp from buttermilk and, the other hand to work with the cornstarch mix.
Heat canola oil in a pan. Heat it to 375 degrees Deep fry. Fry shrimp in batches, do not crowd the pan.
Fry for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Toss to coat evenly. You can drizzle the sauce over bang bang shrimp if you prefer it that way.
