This recipe is missing the savory flavor that the Bang Bang shrimp at Bonefish have. I figured out what it is: Hoisin sauce. Add in some of this and it adds that extra dimension of flavor. Mystery solved! Hoisin sauce can be found in the Asian food aisle or a specialty asian grocery store.

Really great copy cat recipe. Normally I never take the time to write back to someone about a recipe they posted but I felt I had to this time. I’ve tried other variations of bang-bang shrimp recipes but they never measured up to Bone-Fish original receipe. We had just been to Bone Fish a couple of days ago and this was every bit as good. I think the Asian White Vinegar was the missing ingredient. This gave just a slight “tang” that others failed to capture. One thing I did do that you don’t mention is I made my sauce a couple of hours before I cooked the shrimp to let it blend the flavors. Great Job!!! Your’e husband must be a very lucky man.

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!
