Every day at Bonefish Grill is a delicious experience. But on Wednesdays, you’ll get more bang for your buck if you’re as much a fan of the Bang Bang Shrimp as am I. The dish simply explodes in your mouth. It’s like a firecracker of flavor going off in every direction, all at once.
THE MENU
Bonefish is more than fish. Chicken, steaks and seafood of every variety make up an expansive menu that is not afraid to venture outside expected boundaries. The menu takes a no-holds-barred attitude toward turning bold flavors into creative, beautiful presentations. And, yes, presentation is as much a part of the overall dining experience as anything else.
The order (for two): Bang Bang Shrimp ($7.90 — $5 on Wednesdays through July); Lily’s Chicken ($12.90), sea scallops and shrimp with Pan Asian sauce ($15.90).
The name Bang Bang Shrimp is Thai in origin, coming from the Thai sweet chili sauce that envelops delicate fried shrimp. It’s not overly spicy but has enough of a kick to keep things interesting. I just can’t get enough. They really need to think about turning this into an entree. They already serve it on tacos, but what about a Bang Bang salad or just a big plate of Bang Bang shrimp? It’s that addictive.
