I made this recipe after being impressed by a current journey to a Mongolian-style restaurant. Our household loves going to eating places like this and making an attempt to pile as a lot as humanly attainable into these smaller-than-we-expected bowls, making the standard Mt. Everest-like mixtures of greens, sauces, and unnatural quantities of meats.

We all the time go away with full bellies and smiling faces.

What was completely different about this place was that that they had pre-made menu concepts; in fact, you could possibly nonetheless create your mixture, however that they had some prepared for you simply in case you had hassle deciding.

My husband obtained the Firecracker Shrimp, and I did it too shortly after making an attempt his. What I liked about this recipe was the quantity of spice and the truth that the shrimp wasn’t breaded. It jogged my memory of Bang Bang Shrimp with out all of the breading and extra energy. All of us liked the recipe a lot that I got here dwelling and tried to copy it.
