In a medium bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon white pepper, 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 egg white. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to this marinade and mix well to ensure all shrimp are coated. Let the shrimp marinate for 15 minutes.

While the shrimp marinates, prepare the batter. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper. Pour 1 cup of ice water into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.

In a small bowl, prepare the Bang Bang Sauce by combining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F. Dip each marinated shrimp into the prepared batter, ensuring it is completely covered. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until the shrimp turn golden brown and are crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Transfer the crispy fried shrimp to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared Bang Bang Sauce over the shrimp. Gently toss the shrimp until each piece is evenly coated with the creamy, spicy sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions before serving immediately.
