Voodoo Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Voodoo Shrimp Preparation

1

Prepare the Shrimp

In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk, then coat it with the flour mixture. Set aside.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

3

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Make the Voodoo Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.

5

Toss the Shrimp

In a large mixing bowl, combine the fried shrimp with the Voodoo sauce and toss to coat evenly.

6

Garnish and Serve

Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
