The name on this cracks me up because it reminds me of a super funny guy I worked with years ago as a waitress. He was a line cook who always had a line for the ladies. One of his famous ones being “Bang Bang.” Aside from his sometimes overly fresh ways he was quite a sweet guy and he always showed me respect and made me laugh.
I originally made this recipe with Chicken and it was wonderful. I wanted to try something a little different. I had some quite enormous shrimp that were begging to be breaded so it was meant to be. The dipping sauce is really tasty and could be used for lots of other dishes as well. This would make a really easy and unique appetizer you could prepare ahead of time and fry up when your guest arrive.
