Of course almost everyone loves bang bang shrimp but our Grand Son-In-Law Jeff seemed to love them most of all. As a result, we did the research and experimented until we were able to develop a recipe that rivaled those restaurant quality shrimp, so easily devoured as appetizers.
We added a little southern style flair (Siracha/White Pepper) which folks have come to appreciate .
