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!

Where did you buy your shrimp at?
I bought them frozen at Whole Foods.
This glaze sounds soooo good. I love soy sauce based marinades for shrimp!
How would you cook chicken if you used that instead? I dont have a grill pan could I just use a skillet?
Yep, just use a skillet then follow the basting instructions!
Mmm Bonefish is my absolute favorite and yours look picture perfect!!
Looks amazing! Will definitely try this one soon.
May I humbly suggest that you and your readers check out the Seafood Watch website? I always look up seafood there and ask questions at stores and restaurants to make more informed choices about the seafood I eat.
Bonefish is my all time fav and salmon w/ pan asian is my go to! I just changed up my meal plan for the week and added this.
Love Bonefish! Thanks for the lovely recipe.
I just found what I am making for dinner tonight!! YUM YUM!
That looks absolutely delicious!!! I need to try it!!! :) Bookmarked!
We don’t have a Bonefish Grill in New Hampshire but I have been to several while on vacation. Your shrimp look delicious.
I struggle with the chain vs. local aspect of Bonefish as well…but Miss & I are continually lured back there by the chill atmosphere and Bang Bang shrimp! Since we usually don’t get too much time away, we love sitting at the bar for apps and drinks (especially when the BB is on sale Wednesdays) and enjoy some actual adult conversation for a few hours :-)
Will definitely need to try out this copycat!
This looks so delicious! I love shrimp so much but Josh won’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. I might have to make this and grill him some chicken on the side. It just looks too good!!
Yum this looks great! I so want your Griddler but we live in an apartment with limited storage space and unfortunately wouldn’t have room.
