BANG BANG SHRIMP LIKE BONEFISH GRILL
Recipe Courtesy of Dana Calicchio
www.inthekitchenwithdana.com
This is my version of BoneFish Grills Bang Bang Shrimp. It has a creamy sauce that uses one of my favorite condiments, Sambal Oelek. You can find it in most grocery stores these days in the Asian foods section.
Adding cornstarch to the flour is what gives the shrimp their crunchiness. I add cornstarch to my flour mixture when I make fried chicken to give my chicken a great crunchy texture and to my pie crusts also.
If you have a Le Creuset Cast Iron Pot, it fries up foods the better than most fryers. Please send me a message at Dana@inthekitchenwithdana.com and let me know how you like it...or dislike. I have never had any dislikes with this recipe but you never know.
