Why We Love This Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe
This Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe is a Bonefish Grill copycat recipe but made to be a little bit healthier. I just love lighter versions of restaurant favorites! The shrimp is grilled instead of fried, plus we lightened up the sauce even more by using Greek yogurt as the base. You get all the flavor but none of the fat– my favorite kind of dish!
Variations on Bonefish Grill Bang Bang Shrimp
This sauce is crazy delicious, and I’m here to tell you you don’t have to limit yourself to just shrimp. Pour this sauce over chunks of chicken, tofu, or steak; cauliflower florets; scallops, or salmon fillets. You can even enjoy it with french fries or mozzarella sticks!
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover bang bang shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a little bit of olive oil set over medium-low heat until warmed through.
How to Freeze
Freeze shrimp in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
I always ordered this dish as an appetizer, and I think it’s just the perfect amount of food to serve before a meal. I especially love this as a romantic appetizer for a date night meal at home. If you want to make this bang bang shrimp into a meal, make these bang bang shrimp bowls. Or cook up the shrimp and cover it in the sauce as directed, and serve it with basmati rice or mashed cauliflower and roasted veggies, fresh pasta, or turn it into shrimp tacos! Finish things off with a round of Skinny Margaritas!

How to Make Bang Bang Shrimp Step by Step
Soak the Skewers: If using skewers, place them in a shallow baking dish, cover them with water, and soak them 10 minutes prior to using. Make the Sauce: Follow my recipe for Bang Bang Sauce. Pour ¼ cup of the in a smaller bowl to use as a dipping sauce. Set aside. Thread the Shrimp: If using skewers, thread 4-5 shrimp on each (1 pound of shrimp total) and brush the remaining ¼ cup of sauce over the shrimp. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil onto the skillet or griddle and place the shrimp in the skillet. Cook the shrimp 1-2 minutes per side, or until opaque. (Adjust the cooking time if using different size shrimp.) Serve the Shrimp: Transfer the shrimp to a serving dish and brush lightly with the reserved sauce. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions. Serve immediately, with a dollop of dipping sauce, on the side.
