COPYCAT CHEESECAKE FACTORY BANG BANG CHICKEN & SHRIMP

Steps:

• Chicken and Shrimp:.
• In a sauté pan over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and sauté onion, garlic and ginger until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and zucchini and sauté for another 3 minutes. Remove the veggies from the pan and set aside. Add flour to bite-sized pieces of chicken and mix to combine. Sauté the chicken in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for 3 minutes until golden brown. Add the veggies back to the pan and season with the 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pinch of pepper. Add the curry paste, coconut milk, and vegetable bouillon and bring to a simmer. Add the frozen peas and simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare the shrimp. Place the beaten egg in one bowl, then the shredded coconut , flour, salt and pepper into another bowl. Dip the shrimp into the beaten egg first, then into the coconut and flour mixture. Sauté shrimp in 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium high heat until crispy and golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side depending on the size of your shrimp. Place on top of the chicken and veggies in coconut sauce. Garnish with scallions, peanuts and sesame seeds. Drizzle with peanut sauce.

BANG BANG SHRIMP (OR CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the spicy sauce in a small bowl; cover and set aside.
• Combine beaten egg with milk in shallow bowl; set aside.
• Combine flour, panko, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and basil in another shallow bowl; set aside.
• Bread the shrimp by first coating each with the breading mixture. Dip breaded shrimp into the egg and milk mixture, and then back into the breading. Arrange the coated shrimp on a plate and pop them into the fridge for at least 20 minutes. This step will help the breading to stick on the shrimp when they are frying.
• Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees (**see below for alternate cooking method). Use amount of oil required by your fryer.
• When oil is hot, fry shrimp 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on rack or paper towels.
• When all shrimp has been fried, drop the shrimp into a large bowl. Spoon about 1/4 cup of sauce over shrimp and stir gently to coat.
• **If you don't have a deep fryer or want to make it a little lighter... preheat oven to 350-degrees. Heat about 1/4 - 1/2 c. oil in a skillet or frying pan to 350-degrees and fry shrimp (or chicken) on each side for a minute or two until coating is golden brown. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes if doing shrimp and about 20 min. if doing chicken. Check for doneness (you want your shrimp to be pink and your chicken to be white all the way through).
