ALMOST-FAMOUS SPICY FRIED SHRIMP
When Bang Bang Shrimp first hit the menu at Bonefish Grill eight years ago, it was a flop. The dish - crunchy fried shrimp in Thai chili sauce - wasn't the problem. The name was. After chain founder Tim Curci changed the name from Creamy Spicy Shrimp to Bang Bang Shrimp, the appetizer became the restaurant's best-selling dish. And as the shrimp exploded in popularity, so did Bonefish Grill. The chain now has more than 150 locations across the country. Regulars everywhere have a nickname for the signature snack: They just order a "Bang." Many of these fans, including Lori Piscopo from Valley Township, PA, wrote to us asking for the recipe, and while Curci remained tight-lipped on the details, Food Network Kitchens managed to create this perfect imitation.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, chili sauce, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl; set aside.
- Prepare the shrimp: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Whisk the flour, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in another shallow bowl.
- Working in batches, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, dip in the beaten eggs, then return to the flour mixture, turning to form a thick crust. Fry the shrimp in the hot oil until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon.
- Toss the shrimp with the prepared sauce. Arrange the lettuce in a shallow serving bowl or on individual plates. Top with the shrimp and garnish with scallions.
Tips:
- Use large shrimp for best results: Smaller shrimp will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Make sure the shrimp are dry before cooking: This will help them brown evenly.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: A cast iron or stainless steel pan is ideal.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: If you do, the shrimp will steam instead of fry.
- Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque: Do not overcook them, or they will become tough.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: They are best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Spicy pan-fried shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great appetizer or party food. The shrimp are cooked in a spicy sauce that is made with chili peppers, garlic, and ginger. The shrimp are then served with a dipping sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil.
