Guillot's Bang Bang Crappie Shrimp

Cooked a quick lunch today as Tornado repairs waits for no one. Making progress.

Anyway to start I use 1 stick of Un-salted butter in the pan on medium heat till simmering.

Once simmering a fine mince on a couple of toes of quality Elephant Garlic and into the butter it goes. You do not want to brown your butter at all. The hot oils in the butter will extract the abundance of flavor.

As the garlic cooks a bit I diced some crappie fillets into 3/4in cubes adding the fish then add a heavy helping of Bang Bang seasonings to the mixture to start the seasonings themselves cooking to bloom the flavors.

At this point I grab a big handful of shrimp adding them to the pan as well and give a good stir. The Crappie will break up providing some body to the dish.

Now I love the sesame chili oil and it really brings on the heat as well as adding the toasted sesame seed aroma to the overall dish. Black pepper for flavor and salt to taste. The un-salted butter leaves the dish room for salting. I add thin sliced scallions when turning the heat off. If more heat is desired additional Chili oil & Bang Bang seasonings will further spice the dish right up.

I like this over Jasmine Rice but regular white rice is fine. A cold Longneck makes the overall dish really Pop. Since one Longneck leads to another around here I had to forego the beer for tea. Still had to go back outside and work.

I like a little soy sauce with mine but is is very good without too.

Yum, looks and sounds delicious

Will have to try this dish. I bought some bang bang seasoning a few months ago but never tried it on seafood.

Thanks for the report.

BonTemps!!

I’ll be at your dining table in the morning! :Rofl Looks awesome!

Sounds delicious

interesting for sure , never tried that , but anything with shrimp in it ....KABOOM is the word

Had BangBang Shrimp quite a few time but never tried it with crappie. May have to give it a shot!

I'm keeping the mayo out of the dish as a few I cook for don't like mayo in any form. Several Bang Bang Shrimp sauces use mayo.

Haven't been able to get out fishing but once this year, and that nasty skunk reared its ugly head then. That being said, my crappie in the freezer is now non-existent, so We will be using another white fish available at the grocery store till said time as I get some more crappie. Hope it comes out as well...

That dish screams for some crunchy garlic bread! Dish will be a headliner at deer camp next weekend.
