These crispy shrimp are tossed in a creamy, sweet and spicy sauce that would be perfect for an appetizer any night! Or let’s be honest if you don’t want to share make it an entree.
Second trimester is here and in just a few weeks we find out the gender of this baby – either Thomas Graham or Amelia May!
Now some people nest in their third trimester while I nest all 9 months. Like right now I want to go organize my pantry – even though I organized it like 4 weeks ago. And recently I had a garage sale where quite a few people said it was the most organized one they have ever been to…is that because of pregnancy or my obsessive compulsiveness? Probably both.
So how did it get to be April already? That means it’s time for spring dishes like pasta primavera, some paella with seasonal vegetables now that the farmers market is starting back up, and lake time with the fam!
If you didn’t know I love remaking dishes that I have at restaurants. Whether it be Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana, Macaroni Grill’s Mushroom Ravioli or this Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill.
It all started when I got this amazing Krups Fryer for Christmas that John and I have used many times on fries. It got me to thinking though that I hadn’t really used it on anything else. I can’t tell you the last time I went to Bonefish Grill, but you know you have a good meal when years later you remember what you ordered. It was these shrimp and the Imperial Longfin.
Now either I have a really good memory (okay I kinda do) and/or the meal was worth remembering. I love foods that are a mixture of sweet and spicy and that is exactly what this is. Now for those of you who don’t like spice – my mama being one of them even liked it so it’s not overdone I promise but not too sweet either.
