There are a couple different options while making these rice bowls (grilled shrimp or fried – up to you!), and you can opt to make them healthier as well.

While you're at it, make extra shrimp for Bang Bang Shrimp Quesadillas or Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos! Making copycat recipes at home allows you to know exactly what is going into your food, and you’re able to eave out some of the more questionable ingredients (goodbye msg and through the roof sodium).

I did fry the shrimp for this recipe to keep the like-ness of the restaurant version, but I love them grilled as well.Add someGarlic Ginger SpinachorSpicy Green Beans (PF Chang copycat)and dinner is served!

These rice bowls come together quickly and easily in only a few steps.

• Make the sauce firstand let that hangout while you cook everything else.
• Make the rice in the instant pot, a rice cooker, or the traditional stove-top method.
• While the rice is cooking, coat the shrimp in cornstarch, which will give it a nice crispy shell. Fry the shrimp.
• Assemble the bang bang shrimp rice bowls: Add shredded cabbage, tomatoes, and green onions on top. Add a liberal (or modest if you don’t like it too spicy) amount of bang bang sauce to the top!

What is Bang Bang Sauce?

• Bang Bang sauce is Bonefish Grills signature sauce for their popular shrimp dish, Bang Bang Shrimp. It’s sweet and spicy all at the same time! While it punches you with some heat, it doesn’t overwhelm your senses so it's the perfect blend!
• Only a few ingredients so it’s easy to make at home and keep in the fridge.
• Bang Bang sauce is yummy on almost everything. Double or triple the recipe and use it on other dishes throughout the week. The sauce should stay good at least a week in the refrigerator.

How to make Bang Bang Sauce:

**see full ingredient list and directions all the way down the page**

• Take mayonnaise, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and sugar, and whisk all of them together in ajar or bowl.
• Close the jar and let the sauce meld in the fridge while everything else is cooking.

How to make Bang Bang Shrimp Rice Bowls healthier:

• Grill the shrimpinstead of frying. Leave the coating off the shrimp and grill or sauté them for a healthier alternative.
• Use the AIR FRYER to cook the shrimp. Follow this similar method but leave the oil out by using the air fryer!
• Lighten up the bang bang sauceby substituting half the mayonnaise for fat free greek yogurt. I have done this several times and barely notice a difference. The sauce is still majorly delicious, yet this will reduce the calories, saturated fat, and increase the protein content.
• Use 'riced' cauliflower instead of white rice. Alternatively, you could use brown rice instead of white rice as well. If you want a low low carb meal, use the riced cauliflower.
