Let them marinate while you prep the other components (10–15 minutes is enough). Step 2: Make the onion salsa Combine the yellow onion and spring onion in a small bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, a drop of honey, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside. Step 3: Sriracha mayo Stir together mayo, sriracha, lemon juice, honey, pepper, and whiskey (optional). Taste and tweak as needed. Step 4: Fire up the wok Place your HOT WOK over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the peanut oil and swirl it around the wok to coat. Add the marinated shrimp and stir-fry quickly, tossing constantly. Once the shrimp start to turn color, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and garlic. Stir and keep things moving – don’t let the garlic burn. After about 2 minutes, stir in the parsley. Toss everything once more and remove from heat. 🔧 Time to build your Banh Mi: Slice the baguette lengthwise. Spread a generous layer of sriracha mayo on the bottom half. Add a layer of shredded lettuce. Pile on the garlic-parsley butter shrimp. Top with the onion-spring onion salsa. Finish with another drizzle of sriracha mayo on top.
