Notes
- Tips and Tricks for Success
- Storing Leftovers and Reheating Instructions
- Bang bang shrimp is one of those dishes that really is at its best when enjoy freshly made, but you can still enjoy your leftovers if you happen to have some!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days. When ready to reheat, just pour a little bit of oil into a pan, just enough to coat the bottom. Place pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and gently stir together until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and toss together with a little more bang bang sauce.
- Some of the coating may fall off when being reheated, but that's okay. To prevent this from happening too much, make sure to spread shrimp out on the pan in an even layer and to individually flip each shrimp until heated through.
- Let the coated shrimp rest - this will help the coating to adhere to the shrimp better once they're fried up and before being tossed together with the sauce.
- Make the sauce ahead of time (to save a little bit of time) and store it in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. When ready to use, just allow the sauce to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before tossing with bang bang shrimp.
- Shake excess buttermilk and dry coating from the shrimp - to allow for even frying and to prevent the coating from getting too thick, which will result in a soggy (not crisp) exterior.
