💭Is Bang Bang Shrimp Keto?

The bang bang shrimp you will find at restaurants is not keto, however this recipe was made for those who want to enjoy a tasty keto shrimp dish.

💭Is Bang Bang Sauce The Same As Boom Boom Sauce?

The sauce has bang bang in it in order to portray the slightly spicy kick from the thai chili sauce or sriracha that gets mixed in. 

Boom Boom sauce was popularized by Sheetz gas stations and convenience stores which tastes somewhat similar but is made with less clean ingredients like soybean oil.
