ALMOST-FAMOUS SPICY FRIED SHRIMP



Almost-Famous Spicy Fried Shrimp image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce (such as sambal oelek)
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined
Bibb lettuce leaves, for serving
Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

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.

Fried Shrimp - Ebi Furai image

Juicy shrimp is wrapped in a thick breaded crust and fried until crispy. This homemade fried shrimp recipe is so easy to prepare and best served as a side in Japanese bento.

Provided by Rasa Malaysia

Categories     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 shrimp or tiger prawn, shelled, deveined and tail on
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon bonito flakes
1 egg (2oz without shell)
3/4 cup milk
2 cups Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 hard-boiled egg
1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise Kewpie
Salt
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the shrimp and leave the tails. Devein and rinse the shrimp. Cut a few shallow vertical slits at the bottom of the shrimp to keep them from curling up when you fry them. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.
  • Add all-purpose flour, salt, bonito flakes, egg, and milk in a bowl and whisk to combine well. Set the batter aside. If the batter is too thick, add a little bit more milk.
  • Pour the Panko breadcrumbs into a shallow plate.
  • Coat the shrimp evenly with the batter by holding the tail to dip, and then roll it into Panko. Give the shrimp a light press to ensure that the shrimp is entirely covered with the breadcrumbs. Repeat the same process for the remaining shrimp.
  • Fill a deep poy with vegetable oil and heat the oil to 340°F to 360°F (170°C to 182°C).
  • Deep-fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the oil with a strainer, and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Prepare the dipping sauce. Cut the hard-boiled egg into small cubes, mix it with chopped onion and Japanese mayonnaise in a bowl. Finally, add salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy the shrimp hot with cold dipping sauce immediately.

Chinese Deep-Fried Shrimp image

Make and share this Chinese Deep-Fried Shrimp recipe from Food.com.

Provided by CJAY8248

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 18 shrimp, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

18 large shrimp
salt
2 tablespoons sherry wine
1 1/2 cups Wondra Flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut oil
1 cup ice water
1 pinch sugar
oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Remove the shell from the shrimp, but leave the tail intact. Devein with a deep cut, but no not sever the two halves of the shrimp. Mix the sherry with a pinch or two of salt and toss with the shrimp. Put aside while batter is being prepared.
  • Mix the Wondra, baking powder, and salt together and add the peanut oil slowly while beating to mix thoroughly. When the dough forms a lump, add the water, a little at a time until the batter is the consistency of light cream. Heat the oil for deep frying in a wok to 360-370*. Place the shrimp on a paper towel.
  • Take a shrimp by the tail and coat with batter-not the tail, please. Drop the shrimp into the hot oil. Repeat with all the shrimp, removing them to drain as they become golden brown and puffy. Serve at once, or place in a warm (about 150*) oven to keep warm.

STIR-FRIED SHRIMP, CHINESE STYLE



Stir-Fried Shrimp, Chinese Style image

From the Frugal Gourmet, Jeff Smith. This is a simple appetizer recipe that Jeff created because he was inspired by a similar recipe he had eaten in San Francisco. It's an easy fix! You will have to peel and eat, so make sure to have plenty of napkins!

Provided by LifeIsGood

Categories     Chinese

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb large shrimp, raw and in shells
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (I like to use low-sodium)
1/2 tablespoon dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Marinate the shrimp, in shells, for about 15 minutes in the soy sauce, sherry, and ginger. Drain.
  • Stir-fry in a hot pan (on med. high heat) with the peanut oil and garlic until the color of the shrimp changes to pink.
  • Add the green onions, salt and sesame oil. Toss until the onions barely wilt.
  • Serve hot and let guests remove the shells right at the table!

Tips:

  • Select large and fresh shrimp for the best taste and texture.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and garlic to enhance their taste.
  • Use a light batter made with cornstarch, flour, eggs, and water to coat the shrimp. This will give them a crispy and golden-brown exterior.
  • Fry the shrimp in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or mayonnaise.

Conclusion:

Asian fried shrimp is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. With its crispy texture, flavorful marinade, and variety of dipping sauces, it's a surefire hit with people of all ages. Whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out, be sure to give this recipe a try. With a little practice, you'll be able to make Asian fried shrimp that's as good as any restaurant's.
