Buffalo Shrimp Recipe

Buffalo Shrimp Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In a mixing bowl, combine the large shrimp, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the seasonings.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In another bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk until well combined.

3. 3

   Bread the Shrimp

   Dip each seasoned shrimp into the flour-cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg and milk mixture, then return it to the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring it's well coated. Repeat for all shrimp.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large frying pan or deep pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

5. 5

   Fry the Shrimp

   Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. 6

   Make the Buffalo Sauce

   In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the stick of unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce until well combined. Adjust the heat level to your preference by adding more hot sauce if desired.

7. 7

   Coat the Shrimp

   In a large bowl, toss the fried shrimp in the buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the buffalo shrimp immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
