p.s., Bang Bang Shrimp. Never had it. But now that some people raved, I must try it.
I totally agree. If I want an appetizer, say bang bang shrimp, I probably want more than one. So your approach would get me more than one. I would probably say that I really like them, so does anyone want to get a couple orders? Gotta go, think my wife is eating my chicken wings!
