Shrimp and Sauces

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, mix the beaten egg and water. Dip each shrimp first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Toss in Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss half of the fried shrimp with Buffalo sauce and the other half with Sweet & Spicy sauce until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the shrimp with a side of blue cheese dressing and ranch dressing for dipping.
