Dive into Flavor with Irresistible Crispy Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls

Learn how to make delicious Crispy Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the right ingredients is the first step to culinary success. Here’s what you’ll need to create your own Crispy Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Feel free to play around with substitutions. For a healthier twist, try baking the shrimp instead of frying, or swap the mayo for Greek yogurt in the sauce.

Instructions

Let’s dive into the heart of the recipe. Here’s how to bring these bowls to life:

  1. Start by preparing your shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, then dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they’re well-coated.
  4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and honey to create the bang bang sauce.
  6. Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked rice among four bowls, then top with crispy shrimp, shredded cabbage, and a generous drizzle of bang bang sauce.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Pro tip: If you’re like me and prone to multitasking, you can cook the rice while prepping the shrimp to save time.
