Bang! Thats good

I am always on the look out for a new yummy and EASY recipe. When I came across this one at Skinnytaste.com, I just had to try it. It is a leaner version of the popular BoneFish appetizer, Bang Bang Shrimp. The original recipe calls for it to be served over shredded cabbage, I opted to serve it over a brown rice and veggie mix ( its what I had on hand ). To be honest, I was not completely convinced that Mr. Gump would like it. Imagine how pleased I was when both my guys cleared their plates. Mr. Gump even went back for seconds! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Try it and let me know what you think :)

Coat shrimp with cornstarch, mixing well with your hands. Heat a large skillet or wok on high heat, when hot add oil. When oil is hot add the shrimp to hot pan and cook tossing a few times until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and combine with the sauce coating well. Place shrimp on lettuce and top with scallions.
