It's lightly breaded shrimp that is tossed in a spicy sauce and then eaten over lettuce. Seriously so delicious. If you've never been to Bonefish, I highly suggest going if you have one in your area :)
As you know, I'm pretty health conscience. But at the same time, I don't like to deprive myself of things that I enjoy eating. It's nice to change it up once in awhile. Instead of eating something that is completely terrible for me, though, I like to find ways to make recipes as healthy as I can.
So today I want to share with you a healthier version of Bang Bang Shrimp...made by none other than Toy (my grandma)!
I went to Bonefish for my graduation dinner with my family and when my grandma found out how much I love the Bang Bang Shrimp, she took it upon herself to create a healthier version. The original recipe that she found is here, but I'm going to share her altered version with you guys.

When my grandma made this last week, I honestly couldn't even tell the difference between her recipe & the restaurant's recipe! It was that good. But I have to warn you...my grandma is one mighty fine cook ;) But really, give this a try & let me know what you think!
