Why This Recipe

When looking for a quick dinner idea, shrimp is a wonderful dinner that does not take a lot of time to make. 

Shimp is lightly breaded, sauteèd, and served with a tangy, mild chili sauce. 

Just like my simple shrimp creole recipe, this meal idea is quick and delicious!

Ingredients For  Bang Bang Shrimp

Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe

Shrimp  - You can use frozen shrimp or shrimp from the seafood section. Honestly, sometimes the shrimp in the seafood section has been previously frozen, so just use your best judgment. The shrimp should not feel slimy and should not have a bad smell. You will need to devein the shrimp or you can purchase deveined shrimp from the seafood department at your grocery store.

Buttermilk - I know sometimes it is hard to have buttermilk on hand. Real buttermilk is truly best, but if you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute a mixture of ½ cup of milk with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. The lemon juice will curdle the milk a bit.

Sriracha - This makes the best sauce. You can use another brand of sweet chili sauce if you do not have it on hand.

Mayonaisse - A component of the sauce.

Spices - for flavor
