I love fried food. But it is worth it. And let me tell you that my crispy tacos of ground meat, fried squid and churros are worth it. These shrimp also fall into that category.

Each Japanese inspiration restaurant I am going to, I have to try their rock shrimp or their Bang Bang shrimp. I think that the versions of Nobu and Yunomi are incredible and this version is inspired by his.

Ingredients for Bang Bang shrimp

Shrimp – I like using large size. I like to remove the housing and tail for frying.
Bright water – This makes it a super light mass. I like to use San Pellegrino or a can of the club’s soda. This mass is similar to my low fish taco recipe.
Sweet Thai sauce – This will give our Bang Bang shrimp sauce the perfect color and spicy and sweet balance.
Sesame oil – I love adding this to the cabbage salad because add the most delicious salty flavor.

For the rest of the ingredients, see the recipe index card below.

How to make Bang Bang shrimp

Mix white wine vinegar, sesame oil, salt and white pepper.
Mix with the cabbage in slices and reserve.

3. Beat the Bang Bang sauce: mayonnaise, sweet sauce from Thai Chile, Sriracha and rice wine vinegar.

Bang Bang shrimp sauce is mixed in a bowl.

4. Make the dough mixing flour, salt and bright water.

5. Let the shrimp fall into the dough.

6. I like to make sure that excess dough comes out of shrimp.

7. Take it in hot oil. And fry it for about 3 to 4 minutes, until golden.

8. Place the shrimp in a paper towel bed.

9. Look immediately with the sauce. And mix it!

10. Sirlo immediately. I like to decorate with sesame seeds, green onions in slices. And then serve it with the cabbage salad.

Recipe Council

Medium -sized shrimp against large shrimp. I prefer the medium size. Both will work very well but medium size give you another snack of the size of a bite.
Serve this as tacos or in a sandwich. I have made them both ways and they are delicious!
