How to serve Bang Bang Shrimp
As an appetizer, this recipe goes perfectly on a bed of mixed greens or shredded cabbage with chopped scallions and cilantro on top. Like the greens, a little bit of lemon juice also cuts through that creaminess in the best kind of way.
It would also be tasty over an Asian slaw like this one from The View from Great Island. The greens add a fresh component that gives it a little somethin-somethin.
You can make this shrimp recipe a main course by serving over your favorite rice, cauliflower rice (The Minimalist Baker has an excellent tutorial), or in a tortilla topped with slaw for Taco Tuesday.
I bet it would also be divine turned into a pasta with rice noodles, greens, and THAT SAUCE!
How to make Bang Bang Shrimp
In a bowl, whisk together your rice vinegar, mayonnaise, sriracha, and sweet Thai chili sauce until it turns a lovely pale orange color.
Pro tip: Use a big enough bowl that you can easily toss the shrimp in after it’s fried. While your shrimp are deep frying, the sauce just gets tastier and tastier as it sits.
Next, soak your shrimp in a medium bowl of milk and prepare your dredging station. You’ll need to fill one dish with panko bread crumbs and another with corn starch.
When you’re ready, shake off the excess milk, completely coat the shrimp in the corn starch, go for ANOTHER dip in the milk, and then roll around in the bread crumbs.
Remove shrimp and arrange on a baking sheet to ensure they have plenty of room. This also makes for easier clean up.
Now it’s time to fry. In a large skillet, add your oil and heat until a thermometer reaches 300 degrees.
Carefully fry the shrimp until golden brown, making sure you add them in batches so they don’t lower the temperature of the oil.
With a slotted spoon, place the cooked shrimp on a paper towel lined plate so they can drain. Add the fried shrimp to your sauce and stir until evenly coated.
Now you have a delicious appetizer you didn’t have to pay $7 for, that you can make in your own kitchen any time you want!
