"I've been trying to get this recipe right FOREVER but I haven't been able to worm my way into the kitchen at Bonefish Grill just yet. They lie to me like the worst of ex-boyfriends. This is as close as I got, help me out here! It's a great recipe, just not quite the real deal. Reviews TOTALLY welcome."

  1. The exact recipe for bang bang sauce is: 1 cup mayonaise 3 tbsp huy fong chili garlic sauce 1 tbsp mae ploy sweet chili sauce 1 tsp lemon juice (mae ploy is a thai company) This info was from a chef that worked at Bonefish Grill.
     
  2. Thank you for a lovely recipe. Very easy and quick and soooo tasty. I had to sub a little with what I had on hand, namely garlic pepper in place of garlic powder and I used crayfish (lobster) tails instead of shrimp. The spiced cornflour coating is mild, but very tasty, the crayfish was very tender from the buttermilk and the dipping sauce is absolutely yummy! Served in avocado halves and will definitely make again.
     
  3. THIS IS SO GOOD! I couldnt cook it fast enough,my brother and husband were standing over the plate like vultures!! Awesome Recipe! 5 stars for sure!!! We wrapped our shrimp, lettuce and green onions in a flour tortilla and had Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos! I will be making this again, SOON!
     
  4. This was the best tasting version of the BG dish that I've found. Although there are recipes that are easier (less ingredients that is) that are almost as good. Just a note to JPKnight22 -Sriracha is the name of the type of chili sauce (comes from the Thailand town), Huy Fong is a brand (that's the one with the rooster on the bottle).
     
  5. This is an easy recipe and soooooo well worth the effort (which is minimal). Regardless of what you get at Bonefish, you will spend $25 per person once you tip. For a family of 4, I spent $100 last time I went and it was not nearly as good as the Shrimp and Steak I made at home for $40!!

<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/QueenBee49444/CrazySwapBanner5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> I hate to admit it, but I'm a left-brained cook. I only follow recipes and always have to use my measuring cups. Maybe it's the Virgo in me, but I get nervous if I don't have a guide to help me along. I know as a cook, I'm supposed to estimate this and throw in that and whip it all up without really remembering how I did it but unfortunately, Fox would never give a woman like me a cooking show because I'd be so boring and organized! I didn't start cooking until after college but then I was hooked! I adore spending time in the kitchen and am still learning so much about how to prepare dishes. My boyfriend and I live together and he is an incredibly picky eater. I invite others over all the time because I'd get completely discouraged if I only listened to his opinion. Men. Sheesh! This is why we now have a standing invitation for Thursday night dinner. Anybody is welcome, providing they have an appetite and at least 2 redeeming qualities. When my boyfriend and I moved in together, I insisted he upgrade his dinky fridge with the plastic freezer door to a stainless steel beast! I haven't yet convinced him to put a deep freeze in the garage, though he did find room for a commercial kegerator. http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/lynmoz/kegerator_016_(Medium).jpg" I'm very frugal (totally dorky) and pore over the Sunday P & G pages for coupons. I also check my local grocery store sales to determine my weekly meal plan. I grew up very poor in the Midwest so I hate to waste food and am still not quite sure how I ended up with a guy that throws out anything over 2 days old.
