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.
