Crispy, creamy, spicy shrimp oh my goodness. I mean the recipe serves 4 but once you start eating them you may not be willing to share any. I love the light batter from using cornstarch, it makes a lighter shrimp that sops up the sauce quite easily. Now this sauce, it's so addicting you are going to want to put it on everything. Well just go ahead and do it then because I do! It makes a great dipping sauce for veggies. I always have some left over and store it in the fridge in an airtight container for no more than a week. You can serve this with rice, pasta or even make tacos. Alright since your mouth should be watering by now, get your ingredients together so you too can become addicted to these banging bang bang shrimp.
