Copycat Bonefish Grill Pan Asian-Glazed Shrimp are plump shrimp skewered then grilled until smokey and sizzling. A sweet and spicy Pan Asian Glaze is brushed over top before serving.
My husband and I tend to hit the same restaurants over and over again here in town, so we tried to think of somewhere new to us to dine a few weekends ago.
We ended up at Bonefish Grill – bonk! ;)
Although it’s a chain, it was truly delicious and I was excited to try their famous Bang Bang Shrimp.
What ended up blowing us away though? Their Grill Pan Asian-Glazed Shrimp. It was so delicious that I started working on a copycat recipe the very next day!
Plump shrimp are threaded onto skewers then grilled until smokey and sizzling. A sweet and spicy Pan Asian Glaze is then brushed over top before serving.
I actually found the Pan Asian Glaze recipe right on the Bonefish Grill website – how lucky! I scaled the recipe back, traded some white sugar for honey, then added red chili pepper flakes for a nice kick.
The result is the definition of finger-lickin’ good food. I could have eaten 100 of these smokey-sweet shrimp!
If you don’t like shrimp, this glaze would be delicious brushed on everything from salmon and scallops, to chicken or even pork. You’ll just love it.
Start with the Pan Asian Glaze, which is made with mostly fridge and pantry staples. To a mixing bowl add gluten free Tamari or soy sauce, gluten free oyster sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, water, and 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Heat 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat then add 1 Tablespoon fresh minced ginger and saute for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the sauce then bring it to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low then sprinkle in 1 Tablespoon sugar and drizzle in 1 Tablespoon honey. Let the sauce cook for another minute or 2 to dissolve the sugars, then remove from the heat and set it aside.
Next, prep the shrimp. You’ll want about 1lb shrimp for 4 people — I like 40-50 count, peeled & de-veined shrimp for this recipe.
- Tip: You can buy shrimp pre-skewered at the grocery store’s meat counter if you don’t want to do this yourself!
Pat the shrimp dry then lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan (I use my Griddler) on high then brush with extra virgin olive oil.
Grill the shrimp for 1-2 minutes, or until pink, then flip and brush the grilled side with some of the glaze. Grill until the second side is done then flip and brush the second side with the glaze.
Remove from the heat, then serve right away. You’ll want these hot, sticky, and sweet!
At Bonefish Grill we ordered our shrimp with haricot vert and creamy Potatoes Au Gratin, but at home I mound the Pan Asian-Glazed Shrimp over rice pilaf and roasted asparagus.
Stir a bit of hot water into the extra glaze then drizzle on top for a final flourish. Perfection on a plate!

As the mother of a son who is on a gluten free diet, oyster sauce is a no no ingredient. It contains wheat. Read the label. Thank you .
This recipe does not contain a “GF” (gluten free) icon and is not gluten free!
This looks amazing!
The actual Bonefish recipe is available on YouTube.
I am curious if you could suggest a substitute for the oyster sauce? My daughter is violently allergic to oysters. Thank you in advance.
Hi Bobbie! I would try a little hoisin sauce mixed with soy sauce.
Do you think it would work ok if I subbed fish sauce for the oyster sauce? (I already have that on hand) P.S., thanks for all the delicious recipes!! Love your blog!!
Hey RandiJo! Unfortunately that wouldn’t work, as Oyster is thick and sweet. Very different than fish sauce!
I made this last week with roasted green beans for my boyfriend and it was the first meal I have ever cooked for him that he ate and then was visible upset that their wasn’t leftovers.
SO i have to admit, that I never hard the grill pan Asian-glazed shrimp at Bonefish Grill, but I did make this recipe last night (including the rice and asparagus) and it turned out to be a wonderful dinner. Very easy to turn the four servings into only 2. The shrimp have a great sweet and sour flavor to them. Very easy to make, did most of prep-work while the shrimp was defrosting in some cold water.
Well ladies, looks like I’m the only male on this blog lol. Luckily I came across this by chance so now I’ll now have to give it a try. Love Bonefish Grill and any opportunity to have it at home is defiantly worth it. I would use a charcoal grill tho, wish me luck wish me luck since I’m surprising her with dinner ;)
