Fried Shrimp Bao Recipe with a secret ingredient
This post is sponsored by FAGE, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Fluffy little baos filled with air fried shrimp. A little crunch and sweetness, topped with a luscious garlic cilantro sauce. So many fun textures for a fun flavor party.
My new favorite Secret Ingredient is FAGE Sour Cream 🙂 the texture is a great binder for the shrimp, helps with maximum paprika garlic dry batter coating. The FAGE Sour Cream also adds creaminess to the bright tangy sauce. Lots of cilantro, garlic and a splash of lime.
With fresh toppings, you get something different in each bite
I hope you’ll make these and love them as much as my fam does. If you can’t find these baos at your local Chinese supermarket, you can make a great shrimp taco as well. Without an air fryer, you can just deep fry them.

LUPULO: George Mendes’ new Portuguese spot
Dear Food Diary,
Starting a new look for restaurants reviews this week. Integrating Instagram (my new obsession) and honestly a quicker way for me catch up on all my posts without losing on the foodporn aspect of it all for you guys.
First review in this style is Lupulo in Midtown West. Been a big fan of George Mendes. For his new spot, think coastal, fun vibes. Great food and beers.
