You can serve this delicious shrimp over rice, Chinese rice noodles or by itself as an appetizer.

Provided by Beth Pierce

Categories     Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large clove garlic minced
1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp sambal oelek
2 tsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp water
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 tsp honey
1 lb shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed
1/2 c cornstarch
vegetable or canola oil for frying
1 green onion thinly sliced
crushed red pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat olive oil in small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and sambal oelek. Cook for 1-2 minutes; stirring several times. In a small bowl mix together 2 teaspoons cornstarch and water; stir into the saucepan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Cover and remove from the heat and set aside. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • 2. In a small bowl together the mayonnaise, honey and cooled chili sauce; set aside
  • 3. Dry the shrimp with paper towels. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable or canola oil to 375 degrees in a heavy skillet, dutch oven or stockpot. Put 1/2 cup cornstarch in a large ziploc bag. Add shrimp and shake to coat. Working in small batches add the shrimp to hot oil. Cook until lightly browned flipping halfway through the cooking process; approximately 1-1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
  • 4. Gently fold the cooked shrimp into the sauce. Top with thin sliced scallions and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. Smaller shrimp will get lost in the sauce, and frozen shrimp can be tough.
  • Make sure the shrimp are peeled and deveined. This will help the sauce to adhere to the shrimp and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a light hand with the cornstarch. Too much cornstarch will make the sauce thick and gloppy.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked just until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately after cooking. This will prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Garnish the shrimp with green onions, cilantro, and peanuts. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Bang Bang Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It is perfect for a party or a potluck. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
