Notes

Make the bang bang sauce ahead of time. This will save you time when you fry up this meal and it will give you another sauce to use in other recipes.
Use your favorite keto-friendly oil for frying the shrimp. I used olive oil, but avocado oil is another fantastic choice.
Buy deveined shrimp so you don't have to take the time to do it yourself.
