I recently tried Bang Bang shrimp at the Ground Round. If you don’t have a Ground Round, it’s pretty much like a Ruby Tuesdays type restaurant. On their menu they had this appetizer called Boom Boom Shrimp. Boom Boom shrimp is similar to Bang Bang shrimp. And while we were eating the shrimp we pretty much made fun of the name the whole time. I know, talk about childish right? ha ha. The shrimp was deep fried, and covered in this wonderful spicy hot sauce and underneath it was a bed of cole slaw that had a taco seasoning in it. The taco seasoning in the cole slaw was very different. I’ve never had any cole slaw like that before and it was super good. As Guy Fierri would say “It took me on the road to flavor town!”
I’m going to start keeping this sauce in my fridge at all times. It’d be good on burgers, or brushed on grilled corn.
My chives are in full bloom in my garden. They make for such a pretty garnish. Beats spending .89 at the grocery store for some green onions. 🙂

So who’s the skinny shrimp I’m aloud to bang bang? Lmao. Aren’t I funny. No. I’m just lonely ,this dating website kinda sucks.

I’ll,take what I can get but prefer women of any kind ,size , odor as long as I have a bigger penis than her.
I tried the Skinny Bang Bang Shrimp recipe last night. Very easy & quick to prepare. Next time I will add more Sriracha to the mix. I’d like it a little spicier.
I really don’t like yogurt. Is there something to use in it’s place? Like mayo?
Yes mayo would be fine.
Made this recipe tonight and loved it! I always end up cooking the same things for dinner, so this was a great easy new recipe I can add to my lineup! I loved the sauce! Ended up doubling it 🙂
Do I put shrimp in oven 1st for 5 – 10 min then put sauce on it
Yes
Hi, how many shrimp per serving and how much is a serving of the sauce?
Thank you, they look delicious!
can this be adapted to an air fryer and if so, how?
Yes, cook shrimp in air fryer until they are done. Then mix the sauce together and toss the cooked shrimp in the sauce.
Really yummy. Served on a bed of arugula salad with fruit and corn on the cob. Perfect summer meal
I love bang bang shrimp from bahama breeze, I however only tolerate the shrimp part because its breaded and you can barely feel the texture… I am going to make this this week but use grilled chicken… I am so excited for the bang bang sauce recipe!! thank you!!!
So it’s winter here and freezing but I want to make this. Can I make it in the oven or on gorge Forman with raw shrimp?
There are multiple ways to cook shrimp! Baked, air fried, pan-fried, etc..
