Wow.

I don’t know who came up with the recipe for Bang Bang shrimp first , but God bless them.  Because it’s good.

I found this recipe floating around the web a few months ago.  Only later did I discover that it’s a copy cat recipe for a very popular appetizer at Bonefish Grill.

Double battering the shrimp ensures a super crispy coating.  And the sauce is creamy, tangy, and spicy.  According to The Husband, it was the best thing I have ever fried.

I have never eaten at Bonefish Grill, so I can’t say for sure that this recipe tastes just like the original.   But honestly, who cares?  It’s amazing.  Just make it.

Ingredients

For the sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2-4 teaspoons chili garlic sauce such as Sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

For the shrimp:

  • 1 lb. medium shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2-4 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine egg and milk. Add shrimp and stir to coat.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and basil. Pour half of the bread coating into a large resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, seal bag, and shake until shrimp is thoroughly coated.
  3. Return shrimp to the egg mixture; coat. Pour the second half of the breading into the plastic bag. Add shrimp and shake until thoroughly coated.
  4. Refrigerate shrimp for 20 minutes to ensure the coating adheres to the shrimp.
  5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add shrimp and fry, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes.
  6. Remove shrimp from oil and place on paper towels to drain.
  7. Drizzle sauce over the shrimp or serve alongside as a dipping sauce.

      I actually had the same idea. I plan on trying the coating out on chicken strips sometime soon. I think it would be perfect!

    Would I be able to substitute chicken for this? I feel like the coating would brown faster than the chicken would cook…Any suggestions for a college student strapped for cash but still looking for a lot of flavour?

      Yes, I think this would work very well with chicken. If the coating starts to brown too fast, adjust your heat.

        I tried it with chicken just now and paired it with a randomly made peanut sauce. Let me just say that it is absolutely fantastic! Great recipe! Thank you so much for this 😀
