Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry with paper towels before marinating in buttermilk.

2. How do I make the sauce less spicy?

Reduce the amount of sriracha in the sauce. You can start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste if you prefer a milder kick.
