Bang Bang Shrimp

Bang Bang Shrimp

Bang Bang Shrimp, the popular Bonefish appetizer, is easy and healthy to make at home! Crispy baked shrimp coated in a creamy, spicy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound extra-large raw shrimp)

    26/30 count

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • Nonstick cooking spray

    preferably olive oil based

  • 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons Thai-style sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
    plus additional to taste
  • Thinly sliced green onion
  • Bib lettuce

Directions

  1. 1

    Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Generously coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.

  2. 2

    Set up your work station: arrange 3 shallow bowls in a line (a pie plate works well also). In the first, place the flour. In the second, beat the eggs. In the third, stir together the Panko and salt. Place the baking sheet at the end.

  3. 3

    Working about 4 shrimp at a time, dip the shrimp in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg (again, shake off the excess), then in Panko mixture. Pat the Panko onto the shrimp to adhere it.

  4. 4

    Arrange the shrimp on the baking sheet, making sure they do not touch.

  5. 5

    Mist the top of the shrimp evenly with nonstick spray.

  6. 6

    Bake for 10 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Turn the shrimp over (I find a pair of tongs to be easiest), then continue baking for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, until golden and crisp outside and cooked through.

  8. 8

    While the shrimp cook, prepare the sauce: in a small mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, Thai chili sauce, and sriracha. Taste and add additional sriracha if you’d like the shrimp spicier.

  9. 9

    Arrange the baked shrimp on a serving platter. Drizzle the sauce generously over the top. Sprinkle with green onions. Enjoy immediately right off the plate, or wrap inside bibb lettuce leaves.

About this Recipe

Craving that irresistible Bang Bang Shrimp from your favorite restaurant without the guilt or the wait? This recipe brings the iconic crispy, creamy, and spicy appetizer right into your kitchen, healthier and easy to make at home.

We've reimagined the popular Bonefish appetizer by baking the shrimp to golden perfection, creating a light yet satisfying crunch that perfectly complements the rich, tangy, and subtly fiery sauce. Using nonfat Greek yogurt in the sauce offers a lighter alternative without sacrificing any of the signature creaminess.

Prepare for an explosion of flavor and texture. You'll savor succulent, crispy baked shrimp enveloped in a vibrant, creamy, spicy sauce that dances on your palate with notes of sweet chili and a gentle kick from Sriracha. The bib lettuce provides a crisp, refreshing counterpoint, making each bite balanced and exciting. This dish promises a restaurant-quality experience that feels both indulgent and surprisingly light.

Feel free to tailor the heat level by adjusting the Sriracha to your personal preference, adding more for a fiery kick or a little less for a milder warmth. For presentation, you can opt to leave the shrimp tails on or remove them before breading. If you enjoy a touch of freshness, a squeeze of lime juice over the finished dish can brighten the flavors beautifully.

This delightful Bang Bang Shrimp makes for an impressive appetizer at any gathering, or you can serve it as a light and flavorful main course. Present it artfully on a bed of crisp bib lettuce, garnished with fresh, thinly sliced green onion for an extra pop of color and herbaceousness.
