Do you love seafood? Well, if you’re not allergic to those shellfishes, this is one of a simple yet delicious dish to make at home. Bang bang shrimp is a famous appetizer in many restaurant menus, more like a spin-off the traditional popcorn shrimp, I guess.
Your kiddo will love the crunchiness and great fresh tasting shrimp, and you will love the creamy, tangy, and sweet of the cover sauce. At Bonefish Grill, they coated the fried shrimp in the sauce completely, just like the buffalo wing with – err shrimp version. Personally I like the sauce as a dip, or just pour over so that the crunchiness still go on even after a long hour of serving time.
For the sauce, I include a simplified version, since Sriracha and the sweet chili sauce could be found almost at any grocery store that carries international food. If you can’t find any, then look out on future posts for the long fully home make bang bang shrimp sauce version.
