Greg posted this on FB awhile back. Penny had made them and they looked so good that I wanted to try them. He sent me the link to the recipe. I’ve always liked the Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but I have to quit after one – they are just too spicy for me. So, I made a wimpy version. I have put down the original recipe in the directions – but for me to be able to eat it, I only used 3 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce and I omitted the Sriracha completely. I confess that I didn’t make my own shrimp – I used Sea Pak frozen butterfly shrimp. In my defense, that’s what Daddy does and I loved his version of this dish!
SAUCE:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 teaspoon Sriracha
SHRIMP:
1 pound shrimp shelled and deveined
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup cornstarch
canola oil for frying
Recipe
SAUCE:
Mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha in a small bowl. Set aside.
SHRIMP:
Soak the shrimp in the buttermilk and then drain. Toss the shrimp with the cornstarch.
Heat 2-3 inches of the oil to 375F in a heavy bottomed skillet. Fry the shrimp until lightly browned and remove from oil. Drain. Toss with sauce in a bowl and serve immediately.
