How to Make This Salad
This is a step-by-step guide and visual walk-through created for readers. The Full Recipe can be found on the recipe card located at the bottom of this post.
Begin by combining the Chili Sauce, Sriracha, and Mayonnaise in a Small Mixing Bowl. Set aside.
The amount of the Chili Sauce, Sriracha, and Mayonnaise can easily be double if your are making a larger portion.
Place your Fried Shrimp in a Large Mixing Bowl and pour on your Bang Bang Sauce. Toss to mix well. You can also gently mix with a Spatula. If you mix too hard, the breading will separate and fall off the Shrimp.
Plate Lettuce in a Large Bowl and top with Bang Bang Shrimp, Sliced Cucumbers, Green Onions, Carrots, and Avocados. You can switch out the Veggies for whatever you like the best.
