Copycat Recipe: Bonefish Grill Bang Bang Shrimp

by Carrie with Children with 64 comments

We are big fans of Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but with two small kids in our house, going out for a nice dinner is considered a luxury. Awhile back, my husband decided to try and create a Bang Bang shrimp copycat recipe and as luck would have it – this recipe is pretty close to perfect! We’ve served this dish many times for our “at-home date night” and for guests and it never disappoints!

Ingredients

1lb peeled and deveined shrimp
Brown paper bag
Cooking oil

For The Sauce

1 cup mayonnaise
2-3 Tablespoons honey
approx 1/4 Thai Sweet Chili Sauce (we use Kikkoman's) adjust to taste.

For The Shrimp Batter

3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup corn starch
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1 cup of buttermilk (can also substitute with milk)

Instructions

Mix ingredients for sauce and sit aside.
Mix egg and buttermilk and let shrimp soak in the egg/milk mixture for 15-20minutes.
Once the shrimp have soaked, dredge in flour and fry in hot oil. (Shrimp only take about 3-5minutes at most to cook.)
Remove shrimp and place on brown paper sack. (This absorbs excess grease and keeps the shrimp crunchy.)
Place a few spoonfuls of sauce in large bowl and toss with shrimp until coated.
Serve over a spring mix salad or baby spinach.

  Hi Karen – I’d suggest starting with 1/4 cup and then adding to a taste to your liking. If you like spicy, may want to add more! Hope you enjoy!

  I use to work for bonefish. Recipe calls out for chili garlic sauce and sweet this chili sauce. Add a dash of lemon juice and white vinegar to help blend and cut the heat. We just used buttermilk (ice cold) instead of egg and milk. Only to coat not to marinate. Hope this helps

What is the unit of measurement for the Thai sweet chili sauce? 1/4 Cup? Thanks for clarifying.

Hi Megan – Thanks for reading! I would suggest starting out with a 1/2cup and then taste it to adjust the spice level. We like ours spicy, so we always add extra, but it really depends on how much spice you like in your food! Hope that’s helpful for you!

This shrimp is amazing!!! Only pan fry small amounts at one time so it is time consuming but it is delicious! I fixed it for my husband and some friends and everyone kept saying how good it was. I used 3 Tbsp of honey and a little more of the chili sauce than mentioned. Maybe less honey next time so it is a little more spicy.

Carrie with Children

Sunday, 29 March, 2015 at 20:36
I’m so glad to hear you all enjoyed it! It’s definitely a favorite around our house too.
