Bang bang shrimp is an Asian-inspired dish made popular by American chain restaurants. And we have to admit, this dish is pretty bangingly fun and delicious. Here at Real Plans, we love a good junk food makeover like our nachos from scratch or homemade poutine.
Our bang bang shrimp is gluten-free – dredged in coconut flour and tapioca flour before lightly frying in coconut oil. Use a good quality mayonnaise made with avocado oil, and your sauce with honey, sriracha, and tamari (or coconut aminos) becomes a secret health food.
Serve with a light fresh salad or a pot of steamed rice. Bang bang shrimp makes great party food too. Just make extra because they will go fast!
