Popcorn Shrimp
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine buttermilk and beaten egg. Add the shrimp and let them soak for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Mix the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and cracked black peppercorns.
Coat the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
