Homemade Bang Bang Shrimp Salad

Editor's Note:  This was DELICIOUS and not something I would ever think I could make.  Thank you, Jolynn!


Homemade Bang Bang Shrimp Salad
by Jolynn Shull

Shrimp:
Cornstarch enough to coat all the shrimp (about 1/4 cup?)
1-2 t. garlic powder
2 pinches kosher salt
1/4 inch of oil in the bottom of a skillet

Sauce:
1 c. thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 c. mayonnaise
Srirachii hot chili sauce (for those with a touch of the masochist)

Salad:
Salad mix
Red bell pepper
Snow peas
Bean sprouts

Shrimp:
Pre-heat oil in skillet.  Mix cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt.  Lightly coat shrimp with mix.  Quickly fry shrimp (about 30 seconds per side--you know it's done when it's pink).  Sprinkle with salt.

Sauce:
Mix mayo with sweet chili sauce and add srirachi to taste.  (Your taste could possible be none.)  Toss shrimp with sauce. 
Variation:  Pop-Pop Shrimp.  Use sweet-and-sour sauce instead of sweet chili.  Much milder.

Salad: 
Chop veggies and add to salad mix.
Add shrimp to the top of each person's plate of salad. 

Kid variation:  Bang-Bang Tacos--Put a small amount of salad and a few shrimp on the top of a corn tortilla.
