We swapped a “G” with a “B” for these shrimp, otherwise it would be weird. Seafood can be tricky, but these Bang Bang Shrimp are simple enough to throw together for a quick dinner. Speaking of swapping letters, it might be the original phrase in your mouth with every bite.
Tips / Suggestions
- When frying the shrimp, do so in small batches. If you add too many at once you could drop the temperature of the oil too much and the shrimp wouldn’t crisp up.
- When the shrimp are done cooking let rest on a wire rack elevated about a paper towel. If you put directly on a paper towel it could soften up some.
- If you plan on frying more food, be sure to purchase a can where you can filter the oil, pour into another container, and reuse. You can use the oil again and again as long as you filter it.
