How To Make bang bang shrimp

Step 1

To make the bang bang sauce, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, Sambal Oelek, and Sriracha. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring several times.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons of corn starch and water; stir into the saucepan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Cover and remove from the heat and set aside. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, and cooled chili sauce. Season with Kosher salt to taste and set the bowl aside.
Step 4

To make the bang bang shrimp, dry the shrimp with paper towels. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable or canola oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy skillet, Dutch oven, or stockpot. Put cornstarch in a large zip-top bag. Add shrimp and shake to coat. Working in small batches, add the shrimp to the hot oil. Cook until lightly browned, flipping halfway through the cooking process, approximately 1 - 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Step 5

Gently fold the cooked shrimp into the sauce. Top with thinly sliced scallions and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper. Serve immediately.
