Bang Bang Shrimp deliciously sweet and sour....

There are many Oriental inspired restaurants that I have tried a similar version of these. They have been known as Bang Bang Shrimp, Mayo Shrimp or Sweet Chili Shrimp. They have a delicious creamy sweet and sour flavor.


Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs shrimp
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons shiracha or your favorite hot sauce
1/4 cornstarch or flour
oil to fry





Here in Vegas at Round Table Pizza they have a sweet chili sauce called "Polynesian sauce" that I am using in place of the grocery sweet chili sauce.

This is the perfect sweet, hot and sour. I buy these for $0.75 and use them in sauces and to dip a different bunch of options.








I use a baggie to coat the shrimp, it makes for easier clean up, just throw out the bag! I add a little flour at a time to insure that I do not over coat the shrimp and that would make them doughy.


I am using cornstarch instead of flour as many tempura and Oriental deep crispy fried items use cornstarch. And it worked great. Regular all purpose flour is just fine.













Heat enough oil in the pan on med/high heat to cover the shrimp.I am using my deep fryer. You are looking at about 3-5 minutes.






I put them on a paper towel to drain any extra oil.







In a bowl put all of them in and coat with the sauce of you can use the sauce for dipping.

Bang Bang! "Easy breezy" and all under $10! This would be at least $15 or more at the restaurant.
