Bang Bang Shrimp is all about the spice! Tender, crispy shrimp get tossed in a light creamy, but spicy sauce. You can adjust the heat a bit with the amount of Sriracha Hot Sauce you add. We like things spicy so I probably put in a good 8 drops of the stuff. The result was simply amazing. As I type this, I am now, once again, craving Bang Bang Shrimp… and unfortunately, singing She Bangs She Bangs….. win some, lose some!

Disclosure: I have not actually tried Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp so I do not know how closely this resembles their version. However, this one is so utterly tasty that I have no plans of finding the nearest Bonefish Grill to try their version.

Notes: This recipe calls for Thai Sweet Chili sauce and Sriracha Hot Sauce. It’s important to note that Thai Sweet Chili sauce is NOT the same thing as Heinz’s Chili Sauce. Please, do not use it! I bought Mae Ploy’s Sweet Chili Sauce in the Asian section of my grocery store, along with the Sriracha Hot Sauce. These two items are easily found in your average grocery store. Lastly, the sauce calls for mayo. In all my tests with mayo lately, the brand DOES make a difference when you’re looking for a creamy consistency. I found Hellman’s mayo worked far better in recipes than the giant tub of Costco mayo I had on hand.

Lastly, Bonefish Grill deep fat fries their shrimp. I really hate fussing with a big pot of oil (which is why I love these Baked Onion Rings) and avoid deep fat frying as often as I can. For this recipe I decided to try simply pan frying the shrimp in a few tablespoons of oil. The result was just perfect- crispy, tender, delicious.

Edit 2/22/13: I just wanted to update this to say that I finally made it to Bonefish Grill for the first time to actually try their version of Bang Bang Shrimp. It was delicious! This recipe is not exactly like theirs, but very similar. I noticed my version is a bit more “saucy” so if you’re looking for something that is closer to their version, I’d reduce the sauce by half. We like things saucy, however, so I’ll keep it as is. :)
