Method
Shrimp Preparation
Season the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Buffalo Sauce
Make the Buffalo Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined and heated through. If desired, add cayenne pepper to taste for extra heat.
Coating and Frying
Prepare the Coating
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Coat the Shrimp
Take each seasoned shrimp, dredge it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each shrimp is well coated.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable 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, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Toss in Buffalo Sauce
In a large mixing bowl, toss the hot fried shrimp with the prepared Buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.
