FAQ
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
The shrimp is best served fresh for maximum crispiness, but you can make the sauce and cook the pasta ahead of time. Store them separately and fry the shrimp just before serving.
What’s the best pasta for this dish?
Spaghetti and linguine work well, but you can also use fettuccine or any pasta shape that holds sauce well.
How spicy is Bang Bang sauce?
The spiciness of the Bang Bang sauce can be easily adjusted by adding more or less Sriracha. It typically has a mild to medium heat level, but you can make it as spicy as you like.
Can I bake the shrimp instead of frying them?
Yes! For a lighter option, you can bake the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet at 400°F for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
