Knock Your Socks Off Shrimp (a.k.a. Bang Bang Shrimp)

This recipe is very similar to Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill.  I love their shrimp and I love this recipe.  I show it here on a bed of mixed greens so it makes a meal.  I will warn you though – this could end up being your favorite recipe.  For an appetizer, just omit the greens.

Knock Your Socks Off Shrimp

1 c cornstarch

salt and pepper to taste

shrimp (peeled and deveined)  I used the colossal

1 c mayonnaise

1/3 c chili garlic sauce

1 T Sriracha sauce

2 t dill relish

a dash of Worcestershire sauce

a dash of garlic powder

diced green onion (the green part) optional

In a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt and pepper.  Add the shrimp and coat well.

In a medium skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet by 1/2 inch.  When the oil is hot, carefully lower the coated shrimp into the oil and cook for 3 – 4 minutes per side (this depends on the size of the shrimp) or until golden brown.  Remove to drain on a paper towel.

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, Sriracha sauce, relish, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.  Mix well.  Add the shrimp and coat evenly.  Place the shrimp on a bed of mixed greens and garnish with the green onion.  Serve immediately.
