Bang Bang Shrimp
This Bang Bang Shrimp recipe combines crispy shrimp with a creamy, spicy sauce! Based on the popular appetizer from the Bonefish Grill, this copycat recipe is easier to make than you think.
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
Shrimp
- 2-3 cups vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 pound raw medium shrimp (peeled and deveined )
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- optional chopped green onion for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey and sriracha to make the sauce. Set aside.
- In a separate, large bowl, whisk buttermilk, flour, and cornstarch together.
- Stir the shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, covering evenly. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together Panko, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Place the oil into a heavy bottom pan. You want to have about 1 inch of oil in the pan. Turn the heat to medium. If you have a thermometer, you want to get the temperature to about 375 degrees.
- When the oil is heating, lightly strain the shrimp, then dredge in the panko mixture, and place in the hot oil. It only takes 1 or 2 minutes per side to be fully cooked. Fry only a few shrimp at a time or the oil temperature will drop and you won’t get a crispy texture.
- hen you remove the shrimp from the frying pan, place it briefly on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Then toss the shrimp with the sauce.
Notes
Bang Bang Shrimp will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Be sure to place it in an airtight container. Or you may freeze the shrimp for up to 3 months.
