What is in Bang Bang Shrimp?

These tacos get all of their flavor from the bang bang sauce! I make it at home cause it’s so easy! Here are all of the ingredients that you need. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements!

Large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed: These are big shrimp that are already prepared for cooking, so you don’t have to do any extra work. Salt and pepper: These are just basic seasonings that make your food taste better. Whole milk: This makes the shrimp coating nice and thick. Egg: This makes the coating stick to the shrimp so that the outside can get crispy. Cornstarch: This makes the outside of the shrimp nice and crispy when you fry them. Oil: You can use vegetable oil or canola oil to fry your shrimp in.

Bang Bang Sauce

Mayonnaise: This is what makes the sauce creamy. Honey: It’s a sweetener for the sauce, making it taste nice and balanced. Sweet chili sauce: This adds a bit of sweet and spicy flavor to the sauce. Sriracha sauce: This sauce is spicy and gives the Bang Bang sauce a kick. Salt: This enhances the flavor in the sauce.

How to Make Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

This recipe is so simple and you will be enjoying this meal in less than 30 minutes!

Cook the Shrimp

Add Spice: Want to make these tacos even spicier? Add red chili flakes to the sauce or a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper! Toppings: There are so many delicious toppings to add to your tacos to customize the flavors. Try adding sliced jalapenos, pico, mango salsa, or corn! Swap the Tortillas: I used corn tortillas in this recipe, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. Warm Your Tortillas: To heat flour tortillas all at once, I like to wrap them in foil and place them in a 375 degrees Fahrenheit oven while I’m getting everything ready. It’s also easy to warm tortillas individually in the microwave (just put one on a plate) by heating it for 10-15 seconds. Make it a Bowl or Salad: Ditch the tortillas and add the bang bang shrimp to a rice bowl or salad. It’s easy to serve your shrimp just the way you like. Use the same toppings you would for tacos!

In the Refrigerator: Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store toppings and tortillas separately. To Reheat: Heat leftover shrimp in the microwave until warmed through. Assemble the tacos and enjoy!
