Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe from Bonefish Grill

If you have been to Bonefish Grill and love their Bang Bang Shrimp the your in luck! This recipe is exactly like them. If you haven't had them they are a very lightly battered shrimp that's fried and tossed in the perfect combination of spicy and sweet sauce.We like to make shrimp tacos with them. A slice of fresh avocado, shredded lettuce, ripe tomato and a dollop of sour cream make these yummy on a fresh tortilla. We like to not only toss them in the sauce after they are cooked but also drizzle some on top. Every month I get the food Network magazine and I love it! There is a recipe feature called Copy That! that basically steals a famous recipe and prints it for us to enjoy. If you don't get this magazine I highly recommend it.

For the sauce:(I make twice the sauce for extra to drizzle)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Asian Chili sauce (Sriracha)
2 teaspoons honey

For the shrimp:
Vegetable oil-for frying
4 large eggs
3/4 all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed if using for tacos-leave on if not.

Make the sauce-mix all three ingredients together and set aside
Prepare the shrimp-heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil oil in heavy bottom skillet or dutch oven until thermometer reached 350 degrees. Meanwhile beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. whisk flour, corn starch and 1 tsp salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.
Working in batches dredge shrimp in flour and shake off excess, then into egg, then back in flour turning to form a thick crust.
Fry shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes-maintain oil temp by adjusting heat. Transfer to paper towel. I keep them in a warm oven until all shrimp are cooked. Once they are all done toss in sauce. Arrange on bibb lettuce of serving by themselves or make tacos! Yummy!
