Copycat Cheesecake Factory Bang Bang Chicken And Shrimp

Bang Bang Chicken And Shrimp

It’s bang bang chicken and shrimp magic right here. One of my favorite dishes to order from Cheesecake factory is this dish right here, bang bang chicken and shrimp. But because I love to cook, I knew I had to take this challenge on and try and make this myself. While you may look at this dish and read the list of ingredients and may be tempted to run away, don’t get scared. I’ve broken it down into 4 easy steps, because you know me, I love quick and easy. I would never steer you wrong. This is a special recipe, delicious coconut curry over a bed of shrimp and chicken and drizzled with an insanely yummy peanut sauce, well I’m in love. Well that’s as in love as one can be with food. But lucky me I still have leftovers in the fridge. Yes I admit it, the list of ingredients is long, but a lot of the ingredients are spices, most of which you probably already have in your pantry. Because this recipe is a bit labor intensive, I have broken it down for you into 4 easy steps. The first thing you should do is get the chicken and shrimp out of the way. Basically you just need to season them generously with salt and pepper then coat them in some cornstarch. Fry them in a little bit of oil on both sides until slightly golden and that’s all there is to this step. While the chicken and shrimp are cooking, you could get your veggies ready by julienning the zucchini and carrot. If you really want to save on time, you could use store bought peanut sauce, however, it literally took me like 3 minutes to make this peanut sauce. You basically just dump all the peanut sauce ingredients into a small sauce pan and bring it to a boil. That’s it. The coconut curry is where you’ll spend most of your time with but it’s so worth it. This coconut curry is money, I should bottle this and sell it, it’s that good. I could eat it just on it’s own. And finally the last step is just assembling your plates and making them as pretty as you get them from the restaurant. I love this dish and I think it’s perfect for a weekend dinner or maybe even a Valentine’s Day dinner.
