Bang Bang Shrimp Taco Boats

September 3, 2013 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I am a total sucker for Bang Bang shrimp from Bonefish Grill, so I decided to create Bang Bang Shrimp Taco Boats that I can throw together at home easily!

I live under a rock.  Not really because you’ve obviously seen pictures of my house.  BUT, it wasn’t until about 3-4 months ago that I had my visit to Bonefish Grill.  Honestly, that visit didn’t go so well and I probably wouldn’t have gone back had I not tried the Bonefish Grill bang bang shrimp {and thanks to some very helpful managers who made up for the issues}. 

Bang Bang Shrimp Taco Boats

Seriously, those shrimp were amazing. The next time, we got the appetizer AND I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. Delicious. Well,  I can’t eat out all the time so that meant I needed to find a way to recreate my favorite dish at home. Good thing I like to cook 🙂

I like mine extra spicy so I added some crushed red pepper flakes.

Bang Bang Shrimp Taco Boats
Prep Time
10 mins
Cook Time
15 mins
Total Time
25 mins
 
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined (I use the 20-30 count size)
  • 4 tbsp Canola or Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Low Fat Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 4-6 drops Sriracha
  • Shredded Lettuce or Cole Slaw Mix
  • Tortilla Boats you can use regular tortillas if you want
  • 3 tbsp Tex-Mex Ranch Dressing optional
Instructions
  1. Put cornstarch in a large bowl and add shrimp; toss until shrimp are covered.

  2. In a large pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding shrimp. Then, add the shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and reducing the heat. Cook until the shrimp are done (about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes per side).

  3. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, Thai chili sauce and Sriracha. Stir to combine.

  4. Toss shrimp in the sauce mixture. In a tortilla boat, add coleslaw mixture or lettuce. Top with shrimp and, if desired, drizzle with Tex-mex ranch dressing.

    I’ve never been to Bonefish Grill either. But these shrimp look delicious. My daughter and son (and husband and ) love shrimp, so this would be a great dish to make to surprise them.

      Bonefish Grill is super delicious. I definitely love going but being able to recreate it at home is fun too.
