You are going to love this light and crispy Bang Bang Shrimp copycat from Bonefish grill. The sauce is incredible. We love spicing it up with a little extra Sriracha.

Ingredients

1 pound medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
8-12 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Spicy Sauce

½ cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons Sriracha sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Breading

½ cup flour
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried basil

Egg Mixture

1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk

Instructions

Combine all spicy sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and set aside.
Combine all breading ingredients in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
Combine beaten egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
Bread the shrimp by dipping each in breading, then egg, then breading again. Arrange the coasted shrimp on a plate and pop them into the fridge for at least 20 minutes. This step will help the breading to stick to the shrimp when they are frying.
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Use the amount of oil required by your fryer. When oil is hot, fry shrimp for 2-3 minutes each, or until golden brown. Drain on a rack or prepared plate.
Prepare a rack or a plate with paper towels to drain fried shrimp on. Set aside.
When all the shrimp has been fried, place the shrimp in a large bowl. Spoon about ¼ cup sauce over shrimp and stir gently to coat.
