Slimmed Down Bang Bang Shrimp

I love this website when it comes to actually delicious healthy food.  And this recipe did not fail me!  If you are a lover of Bonefish Grill's Bang Bang Shrimp, you will love this healthy version that practically tastes the same!

I will say that this was a tad spicier than the restaurant's, but that is because I didn't use a pound of shrimp but still made the called for amount of sauce.  So, I will reduce the sauce in half next time considering Josh has some serious acid reflux!  I also did not use cabbage but instead put the shrimp over brown rice and cooked zucchini for a side.
