    Helpful Tips for Making Bang Bang Shrimp 

    Copycat Bonefish Grill Recipe

    Dredging Shrimp 

    When you are dredging the shrimp in the cornstarch, make sure to shake off excess before you place in the pan to cook. 

    Heavy Bottom Pan 

    Make sure to use a heavy bottom pan that can hold up and create an even heat on the pan. If you use a lighter pan it can create hot spots which could unevenly cook your shrimp. 

    Hot Oil 

    The oil has to be hot or it will not create that crispy coated shrimp the way you want and need. 

    Variations to Bang Bang Shrimp

    Spice Factor of Sauce 

    You are able to adjust the spice factor of the sauce. This sauce is a medium heat, not too spicy. If you want add additional sriracha to elevate the spice. Feel free to taste and adjust as needed.

    Feel free to buy homemade Bang Bang sauce if you don't want to make homemade sauce. Either way the shrimp taste delicious smothered in the sauce. 

    Bang Bang Shrimp Common Questions 

    Copycat Bonefish Grill Recipe

    Why doesn't my shrimp have much breading? 

    When dredging the shrimp you need to make sure to coat the shrimp well. Just coat all the way through and then shake off excess. 

    How to know when the shrimp is done cooking? 

    Shrimp will curl in and create a "c" shape once it is done being cooked. You are going to see the shrimp curl as it is done cooking. You can also cut open a shrimp and see that it is cooked through, and no longer translucent. 

    Do you eat this shrimp warm or cold? 

    Bang Bang shrimp needs to be eaten warm fresh from being tossed in the sauce. It has a nice coating on it and will not stay crispy once it begins to cool down. 

    Can you store the leftover shrimp? 

    You can store the shrimp for 1-2 days in the fridge. Feel free to eat the shrimp cold leftover or warm it up in the microwave or stovetop.
