Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture. Place the coated shrimp on a plate and repeat until all shrimp are coated.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of the flour mixture into the oil; it should sizzle.

  2. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Buffalo Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add in the hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined and heated through.

  2. 6

    Combine Shrimp and Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the fried shrimp with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the buffalo shrimp on a serving platter. Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
