Copycat Bang Bang Shrimp tastes just like the popular appetizer at Bonefish Grill and it's so easy to make at home. Bang Bang Shrimp are creamy and both sweet and spicy. These shrimp are so hard to stop eating!
In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
Place about 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees.
While oil is heating, combine shrimp and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Place cornstarch in a zip top bag. Remove shrimp from bowl, shaking off any excess buttermilk and place in bag with cornstarch. Shake to coat. Remove shrimp from cornstarch.
Fry shrimp in batches. Only cook for about 1 minute per side. The coating will not get very brown, so be careful not to overcook them thinking they are not done.
Place cooked shrimp on a paper towel-lined plate. Once all shrimp are fried, place them in a bowl and drizzle sauce on top. Toss to coat. Note: You may not want to add all the sauce. I like to reserve some for dipping.
Sprinkle with chives if desired and serve with rice.
