Bone Fish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp

Bone Fish Grill's hands-down best appetizer on the menu is their signature Bang Bang Shrimp. Actually its the best dish on their entire menu! I've ordered this numerous times wishing I had some jasmine rice to go with it and I'd be good to go! I recreated this at home and followed a copycat recipe that I ofcourse tweaked. Recipe with my tweaks below:

Ingredients
1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise (I like Hellmann's)
1/4 cup Thai Sweet Chili Sauce (Can be found in the international isle at your local market)
3 drops Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (or to taste)
1 pound shelled and deveined shrimp ( I prefer using medium-large sized shrimp)
Dry cornstarch (I added some salt and black pepper to this)
oil for frying ( I used vegetable oil)
lettuce (Romanie, or Butter Letteuce works well)
chopped scallions


Preparation

Mix mayonnaise with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. Add hot sauce to taste. I added a little water to thin the sauce out a bit. Dredge the shrimp in cornstarch. Deep fat fry the shrimp until lightly brown. Drain on paper towel, put in a bowl and coat with the sauce. Serve in a lettuce lined bowl, top with chopped scallions. Or to load up on some carbs, serve it along the side of white rice, I prefer Jasmine, which has a nice floral aroma and sauteed green beans. Serve right away as you lose the crunchy factor if you let this dish sit out for awhile.


Rice
1 cup of washed jasmine rice, 2 cups of water; cook in the rice cooker. You can make it over the stove too. Serves 2.


Garlic Green Beans
1 lb of fresh green beans, cut off ends; Blanch in hot water for 2-3 mins; remove and drop into a big bowl of ice water (this shocks the beans and stops it from cooking any further and keeps your beans nice and green). In another saute pan, drizzle 1 tbspn of olive oil and throw in 2 minced garlic cloves (more the better, if you love garlic like me!), toss in the green beans and serve!
