Ingredients
- Bang Bang Shrimp®: The star of the dish, these shrimp are lightly battered and fried until crispy. The shrimp are coated in the restaurant’s signature Bang Bang sauce, a creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet sauce made with mayonnaise, chili sauce, and other seasonings.
- Corn Tortillas: Soft corn tortillas are used to hold the shrimp and toppings together, giving the tacos an authentic, rustic taste.
- Cabbage Slaw: A refreshing and crunchy slaw made with shredded cabbage, sometimes dressed in a light vinaigrette or creamy sauce, adding a tangy and crunchy contrast to the shrimp.
- Pico de Gallo: Freshly diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice that add a bright and zesty element to the tacos.
- Bang Bang Sauce: The creamy sauce used to coat the shrimp, which gives the dish its signature flavor. The sauce is rich and has a balance of spicy and sweet flavors that complement the crispy shrimp.
- Lime Wedges: Squeezing fresh lime over the tacos brightens the overall flavors and adds a zesty kick.

Allergens

- Dairy: The Bang Bang sauce may contain dairy, especially if it includes ingredients like mayonnaise or sour cream. It’s important to verify with the restaurant if you are avoiding dairy.
- Gluten: The shrimp may be coated in flour and fried, which can contain gluten. If you need a gluten-free option, you should confirm that the shrimp is prepared without gluten and served with gluten-free tortillas.
- Egg: The sauce and the batter used for the shrimp may contain eggs, so those with egg allergies should inquire about modifications.
- Soy: Depending on the ingredients in the sauce or seasoning, there could be soy present, so it’s important to ask if you have a soy allergy.

Recommendations
- For a lighter option: To make the dish lighter, you can ask for the shrimp to be grilled instead of fried, and request the Bang Bang sauce on the side to control how much you use. Pair it with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a healthier balance.
- For a richer, indulgent meal: Enjoy the Bang Bang Shrimp® Tacos as they are, and pair them with sides like crispy Brussels sprouts, seasoned fries, or a side of mac and cheese to complement the richness of the shrimp and sauce.
- Wine Pairing: A Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio would pair well with the creamy and slightly spicy Bang Bang Shrimp. These wines have the acidity and structure to balance the rich shrimp and sauce. If you prefer red wine, a Pinot Noir could also be a great match.
- For a gluten-free option: Ask for the shrimp to be grilled (not battered) and request gluten-free tortillas to ensure the dish is completely gluten-free. Pair with a gluten-free side like steamed vegetables or a house salad.
- For heart-healthy benefits: Request grilled shrimp instead of fried shrimp to reduce unhealthy fats, and opt for a side of steamed or sautéed vegetables instead of fried sides. You can also ask for the sauce to be served on the side for better control over calorie and fat intake.
