Copy Cat Bang Bang Shrimp – I have to admit it…the name of these shrimp is what enticed me to give this recipe a try…and boy am I glad I did!

These little babies are so good! I love any excuse to cook shrimp, and I just couldn’t pass these up. Fried shrimp are a part of my heritage. We are all about them in Louisiana! What takes these over the top? The sauce!! I know, I know…they are a little excessive. But every now and then, a meal like this is fun to make.

This copy-cat Bonefish Grill recipe is courtesy of Food Network Magazine. They are super yummy. I served them with Lo-Mein and Hibachi Veggies. It was a fabulous meal!
