Lightened Up Bang Bang Shrimp

There is a restaurant near my work called Bonefish.  They have this wonderful appetizer called Bang Bang Shrimp!  It is so incredibly delicious.  However I am certain that it is not good for you what so ever.  Brian and I have made this recipe over and over and it gets better and better every time.  You can totally customize how spicy {or not} that you want it.


Lightenend Up Bang Bang Shrimp
recipe heavily adapted from Skinny Taste

Ingredients
Sauce:
2 tbsp light mayonnaise
3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp Thai Sweet Chili sauce
2 tsp Siracha {or to taste}

Shrimp:


1 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons wheat flour {or all purpose}
1 tsp canola oil
1 bag coleslaw mix
For Garnish:
4 tbsp green onions, chopped

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Thai sweet chili sauce and Sriracha. Set aside.

Coat shrimp with cornstarch and flour, mixing well with your hands.  I like to put them in a ziploc bag and put in a little bit of the shrimp at a time and shake to coat them.

Heat a large skillet on high heat, when hot add oil. When oil is hot add the shrimp to hot pan and cook tossing a few times until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and combine with the sauce coating well.  You will want to cook your shrimp in batches so that you don't overload the skillet and cause the oil to not be hot enough to crisp your shrimp.

Place shrimp on coleslaw mix and top with green onions and enjoy!
