Bang Bang Shrimp

This is basically why we go to Bonefish Grill. My husband and I love this dish, and it's great for anyone that wants that extra kick in their seafood.

WHAT YOU NEED

20-25 pieces peeled shrimp (Serves 4 as appetizer, add more if serving as a side dish)
Vegetable Oil for frying
Breading
1 egg and cup of milk whisked together
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (You can use normal breadcrumbs but it wont be as crunchy)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon rubbed (ground) sage
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup of chili garlic sauce (I use the Vietnamese sauce found in international section of grocery store)
1 tspn of hot sauce (if you want it spicier)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon rice or white vinegar

LET'S GET STARTED

1) Combine flour, panko, salt, black pepper, sage, onion powder, garlic powder, and basil in a dish.
2) Prepare the egg and milk in another bowl.
3) Bread the shrimp by first coating each with the breading mixture., then dip into the egg and milk mixture, and then back into the breading.
4) Once you finish breading the shrimp, cool them in the fridge for about 30 minutes. You can bread them in the morning, and fry them right before your guests come!
5)Combine all ingredients for the spicy sauce in a small bowl; cover and set aside.

6) Fry 5 pieces at a time on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, then drain on paper towel.
7) Once you finish frying, place them in the sauce and toss. Then place on a plate and garnish with green onions, or parsley.


ENJOY!
