I just prepared it with CHICKEN! Turned out SPECTACULAR. I’ve never been to Bonefish Grill since there’s none @ Puerto Rico. Whenever I enter the blog looking for a recipe there’s a highlight of a comment in this recipe. I’m rehearsing appetizers for Super Bowl and decided to give it a try. Don’t know if any of the guest is allergic to shellfish so I figure if I use chicken (scallopini) it would be a nice twist for the standard buffalo boneless wings! Thanks for another great fool-proof recipe!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!!! I have only had bang bang shrimp once in my life, but have searched all over the internet until I came across your fabulous recipe. I only changed two things-I used jumbo cooked shrimp as I didn’t have any raw and since I didn’t have any rice vinegar, I omitted that. The cooked shrimp deep fried turned out just fine. Your recipe was super easy to follow (thanks for the pictures too!) and it turned out fabulous. Everyone thought it was a hit, I will be sure to try it with raw shrimp and the rice vinegar next time. Thank you again!

I forgot to mention, for all the people who have to eat a gluten free diet- Bonefish has.an awesome gluten free menu- it is a seperate menu you can ask for it. The best kept secret is the gluten free chocolate cake served.with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce – the BEST dessert I ever had! It’s not on the regular menu but you can order it. If you could copycat that recipe, I may stay in all winter!

Ok – it’s settled once and for all- this is it folks- this recipe is THE copycat-tried them all last night and we just went to Bone Fish last weekend- so I had my favorite app of all time fresh in my head. First, the frequently published recipe with just cornstarch is horrible-
I tried it- yuck! Secondly, it can’t be right because my brother has celiacs and ordered it
Gluten free and it was bare shrimp with the sauce – no crisp whatsoever- they could of used corn starch because there is no gluten in it, but there is gluten in breadcrumbs (wheat). I only added an egg to the milk (was already in there per another recipe)- my husband and.my friend who dined with us both said this one was spot on! I had to take more shrimp out of the freezer to make more once the kids found it! All I can say is Thank You! Fantastic recipe- you nailed it!

I decided that I wanted to try your sauce but did not have shrimp available tonight. I used popcorn chicken instead and it was very yummy!

You know, I know the taste you’re speaking of. I eat it so much (it seems)… It’s almost a metalic type taste ans sometimes it’s noticeable and sometimes it’s not. Is it really the shrimp? Or could it be the re-used grease it’s fried in? OR is it that the shrimp are tossed in a metal bowl of sorts that give it that taste? I’m really not sure, but again, I don’t ALWAYS taste that wierd taste when I’m at the restaurant (which I’m found at-usually on a wednesday-$5.00 bang bang-after I’m done shopping at the mall…which can be so tiring you know ). So, here I am, on the hunt for a copycat recipe because I’m craving it badly but am not able to go over there for a while… So far, this looks like one of the more worthy copycat recipes to try!

The Cheesecake Factory’s bang bang shrimp and nowhere near, even close to the same thing as the bang bang shrimp at Bonefish. I worked at the Cheese for 5 years and so many people would order it and think its like Bonefish’s and be so disappointed.
