BANG BANG SAUCE SHRIMP

1st PLACE WINNER - 2007 Scovie Awards



Kitchen Tested Recipe



Recipe Rating:***** + +



2 pounds peeled and deveined Jumbo or large shrimp

1 teaspoons salt

2 well beaten eggs,

3/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup Corn Starch

3/4 cup flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

Oil for deep frying

1 bottle Dinni’s Select Bang Bang Sauce (from www.dinnisselect.com)



You can make your own sauce by mixing Thai Chili Sauce and Mayonnaise (50:50) or buy another brand, but then you will not have the Bonefish’s taste, I have been unsuccessfully trying for over 2 years to copy it for my catering business.



If you are in hurry you can substitute the shrimp with store bought pre-battered frozen shrimp.



DIRECTIONS:

Sprinkle shrimp with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; let stand at room temperature for 12 minutes. Combine eggs, milk, corn starch, flour, baking powder in mixing bowl; mix until smooth. Heat oil in deep fryer to 350F. Add batter to the bowl with shrimp, stir till the shrimp is well coated with batter drop shrimp in the deep fryer and fry till golden brown (about 3 minutes)

In a separate bowl or a ( large zip lock bag ) empty one 12 oz. bottle of Bang Bang Sauce, drop the fried shrimp and still till all the shrimp is coated with the sauce. Garnish with fresh green or red hot peppers and serve with side of Bang Bang Sauce for dipping.

Please save yourself the trouble and don't listen to Chef Dan. He has posted in dozens of forums all over the net trying to push his Dinni's select sauce. i learned the hard way that this stuff tastes nothing like the Bonefish sauce, and actually tastes horrible. And the real kicker is you have to order a minimum 3 bottles.
The real recipe calls for Mayo, Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, and Srirachi Hot Sauce. I tried it and it was very good.
Chef Dan probably works for Dinni's Select.
