This is one of OUR FAVORITE item to ORDER…it is loved by all of us!! We discovered this little yumminess when we first ate at Bonefish Grill. Ever since then…if we see it on the menu…WE would ORDER it!! But you know..with a family of 6…it can get pretty EXPENSIVE!! Especially when we have to order 2 orders sometimes!!! So, I went home and started to test out a few different recipes and tweak it a few times. I tried out a recipe where I just added sweet chili to mayo…that was ok..but the kids didn’t love it that much. They liked it but NOT quite the same as the restaurant. I also tried frying the shrimp in a different battered….BUT I think this is the one that they preferred. SImple and easy to make. I usually DOUBLE the sauce because they usually smother their broccoli in the sauce. This is a great way to get the kids to eat their veggies.
