Recipe: Bang Bang Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 package shrimp, peeled and de-tailed (I used Large 12oz. bag but you can use any size)
Spicy Sauce:
• 1/2 cup lite mayonnaise
• 4 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• (I ended up making my sauce way too spicy and cut it with Musselman's Apple Butter, so definitely go easy on the Chili sauce and add more slowly)
Egg Mixture:
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
Breading Mixtures:
• You need to make two bowls of dry seasonings:
Bowl 1:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder - I used Old Bay Seasoning instead
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Bowl 2:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
