All my friends who have tried the Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill rave about it. I have never tried it because it’s not gluten free. But I wondered what all the fuss was about. So, I made some. And I loved it! And then I made a similar dish but with pad Thai noodles. I loved this even more, as it turned an appetizer into a main dish. I call it Gluten Free Sweet & Spicy Thai Shrimp Pasta.
This recipe is super simple and quick. You can make it as spicy as you like – I started with 3 teaspoons of sriracha and landed on 5.
This whole dish comes together in less than 20 minutes, but it feels like you’re eating something special. And it tastes like you’re eating something delicious. Because you are.
I used organic brown rice pad Thai noodles from Explore Cuisine in this recipe and Thai Kitchen sweet red chili sauce because it is gluten free. Make sure you check the label if you use a different brand.
