Bang Bang Shrimp is an quick and easy weeknight dinner idea with a tangy, yet sweet sauce! This recipe calls for baking, NOT frying the shrimp for easy clean up!
Ingredients
FOR THE SAUCE:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 ½ Tbsp chili garlic sauce (I use THIS brand)
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
FOR THE EGG MIXTURE:
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¾ cup milk
FOR THE BREADING:
- 1 lb frozen, raw shrimp (thawed), shelled and deveined
- 1 ½ cup flour
- 1 ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl with a spoon. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
- In a small bowl, combine egg and milk and whisk together. Set aside.
- In a large ziploc bag, combine flour, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and basil. Zip closed and shake until mixed.
- To begin, bread the shrimp by first dropping it into the ziploc bag and shake a few times. Then dip breaded shrimp into the egg and put back into the ziploc. Once coated, place each piece of shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- To cook, bake on pan for 10 minutes. Flip shrimp and bake an additional 5 minutes or until done. Once done, add half of the sauce to the shrimp to coat (while the shrimp is still hot). Sprinkle with a little extra dried basil and serve with sauce on the side. ENJOY.
