Bang Bang Shrimp

Addictive "Candy From the Sea" as Seth calls them.

You can find the chili sauce & Sriracha sauce just about anywhere these days, including Super Walmart.



Bang Bang Shrimp

Seasoned Flour
2 Pounds large shrimp, peeled & deveined
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
1/4 Cup Thai sweet chili sauce
Sriracha hot sauce to taste

Mix mayo & sauces. Refrigerate.

Coat shrimp with seasoned flour. Reserve leftover flour mixture.

Place shrimp on a single layer on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least one hour.

Just before deep frying, coat shrimp with flour mixture for a 2nd time.

Deep fry at 375º until shrimp are cooked thru - about 2 minutes.

Pour sauce over shrimp & toss gently.

Buffalo Wings

This recipe is based on a famous restaurant's wings. They use an owl for a mascot. :-)

These wings are THE best. They are good leftover, reheated in the toaster oven, but they are never better when they are freshly cooked & tossed in the sauce.



Hooter's Buffalo Wings

Seasoned Flour
24 chicken wing sections
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Coat chicken wings with seasoned flour.

Reserve leftover flour mixture.

Place wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. (I cover the sheet with foil & use wax paper to separate the layers if there is more than 1 layer of wings.) Refrigerate coated wings for at least an hour.

Coat wings in flour mixture a second time right before frying.

Deep fry wings in two batches in 375º oil for 9 - 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat butter, hot sauce, pepper, & garlic just until butter melts. Keep warm.

Drain cooked wings on paper towels.

Place wings in a large bowl, Pour warm sauce over & toss to coat.

Seasoned Flour

Where have I been? You might be wondering that.

Sometimes I cook too much & it takes awhile for Seth to catch up! That's what happened last week with Lasagna & Beef Stew leftovers.

We'll be having a get-together here on Thursday evening for anyone who wants to stop in and see Lauren. And Richard, and Mike & Shannon, and the newest member of the family: Samual-Wyatt. (No, that is not a typo.)

So far the menu is looking like this:
Zuppa Tuscana
Buffalo Wings
Bang Bang Shrimp
Mini Pigs in a Blanket
Mini Mac & Cheese Cupcakes (hoping that Lauren & Richie will love these.)
Chicken Fries

There are other things on my list but these are the "must haves".

I'm going to post a master recipe for seasoned flour. I mix this up in a large batch (5 lbs of flour) & store it in an airtight container so I don't have to mix it every time I need it.

Seasoned Flour

1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne

Hold on to this recipe. You will need it to make Buffalo Wings & Bang Bang Shrimp.
