Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe Tips:

For this recipe, you want to use raw shrimp. You can use precooked shrimp but I think it works best with raw, uncooked shrimp!

You’ll dip the shrimp in the egg mixture then the flour mixture. I would do probably 4-5 shrimp at a time to speed this part up!

Then you’ll pan fry the shrimp in oil. I used avocado oil because of the high smoke point. It doesn’t take long from them to cook.

After they’re done, remove and put in a bowl.

Repeat until all the shrimp are done.

You’ll want them to cool a little bit before dipping in the bang bang sauce.

That’s it!
