Keto Bang Bang Shrimp with Asian Slaw

I’m going to leave this keto bang bang shrimp recipe right here for when you need a low carb dinner on the table ASAP. You’ll thank me later!

NOTE: I recently updated this Keto Bang Bang Shrimp recipe post from 6 years ago, and normally I’d take out the extra stories that Google hates now and just throw the term Keto Bang Bang Shrimp in here a bunch of times for SEO purposes (read my rant on this here), but I decided to leave this one intact because Google is not always the boss of me (shhhh.)

Before I get to this keto bang bang shrimp recipe, I just have to fill you in on my latest adventures in lake life. As always, you can use the jump to recipe to skip it if you prefer!

So last night I left all of the windows open and didn’t wake up with frost bite this morning, which is how I know for sure that Spring has finally arrived in New York.

It was glorious, though the sounds of the lake right outside our window at night is going to take some getting used to.

For the first five minutes in bed I was lulled by the waves rhythmically lapping against the dock, and the contented soft calls of the geese and ducks drifting across the water.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…..

I remember thinking how peaceful it was – that it was going to be an amazing Summer of drifting off to sleep to the sound of nature’s symphony every night…

Then somehow things took a disturbing turn and every noise started to seem sinister.

I was sure that the creaking I heard was someone stealthily making their way up the back porch stairs and prying the screens off…

Nope – just the neighbor’s boat scraping against the slip next door.

Wait… is that the cat puking in the other room again?

Nope. Just a series of small waves hitting the pilings from someone’s late night boat ride on the other side of the marina.

Gasp! Is that Hungry Jr. calling out terrified in the middle of the night?!

Nope. Local racoons squealing over some half eaten treasure pilfered from the overturned garbage can.

IT. WENT. ON. AND. ON… AND ON.

Now some of you might be asking yourselves (as would I):

“Why didn’t this chick just get up and shut the windows?!?!?”

Two reasons.

First, there are a ton of them and they crank shut which takes forever and is super annoying.

Second, and more importantly:

I AM NOT A QUITTER.

Anyway, I finally fell asleep at who knows what time… only to be woken up what felt like seconds later to the rude honking of an army of geese RIGHT OUTSIDE of our open bedroom windows at FIVE-THIRTY IN THE MORNING.

I’m just saying – it’s a good thing we don’t own a shotgun, because I would have seriously considered using it.

THIS JUST IN: Greenwood Lake Woman Opens Fire on Flock of Geese. Begs to be Taken to Jail so She Can Sleep.

Anyway, you get the picture – I’m exhausted this morning.

Coffee. More. Me. Now.

Hey, you know what’s awesome when you’re sleep deprived and you still have to function and be productive the next day?

NOTHING.

Just kidding – an easy and delicious dinner recipe, that’s what. It doesn’t get much easier or more delicious than this keto Bang Bang Shrimp recipe either.

Keto Bang Bang Shrimp = Crunchy. Sweet. Smoky. Spicy. BLISS.

I like to keep already peeled and de-veined shrimp in the freezer for situations like this, which costs a little more but saves all that tedious work of doing it yourself. Then you just run it under cold water to thaw it, toss it in the coating, and fry it up which only takes a couple of short minutes!

If you’re really looking to get this keto bang bang shrimp on the table fast, you can get the pre-bagged slaw mix and save yourself some chopping – and avoid likely maiming yourself in the process if you’re in full on sleep walker mode like I am today.

The keto bang bang sauce, which is where most of the awesome flavor comes from, can be made in less than 2 minutes and tastes amazing on EVERYTHING.

It’s so easy that you literally add the ingredients to your magic bullet or blender and blend for 10 seconds.

Boom. Dinner is served.

Even with some short cuts, this keto Bang Bang Shrimp recipe is so good that your family will be too distracted to realize that you’ve suddenly disappeared and gone to bed early (with all of the windows closed this time.)

“Hey where did Mom go?”

“Who cares, this shrimp is amazing!”

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
