Copycat Bang Bang Shrimp

Bonefish Grill has two of my all time favorite shrimp appetizers. Saucy Shrimp and Bang Bang Shrimp. It’s a toss up which one is my favorite. They are both so good!

Fresh shrimp are tossed with buttermilk and then coated in cornstarch. In batches, they are fried in oil. I use vegetable oil. They only take a few minutes to fry. Then toss them in a mixture of mayonnaise, chili sauce, and Sriracha sauce. It sounds like a strange combination, but these shrimp are truly fantastic.

Steps

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.

  2. 2

    Place about 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees.

  3. 3

    While oil is heating, combine shrimp and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Place cornstarch in a zip top bag. Remove shrimp from bowl, shaking off any excess buttermilk and place in bag with cornstarch. Shake to coat. Remove shrimp from cornstarch.

  4. 4

    Fry shrimp in batches. Only cook for about 1 minute per side. The coating will not get very brown, so be careful not to overcook them thinking they are not done.

  5. 5

    Place cooked shrimp on a paper towel-lined plate. Once all shrimp are fried, place them in a bowl and drizzle sauce on top. Toss to coat. Note: You may not want to add all the sauce. I like to reserve some for dipping.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with chives if desired and serve with rice.
