Easy Crispy Fried Shrimp Recipe

400 g raw jumbo shrimp, deveined

tsp salt

tsp white pepper or black pepper

allspice powder

tsp oregano, dried and finely crushed (optional)

tsp thyme leaves, dried (optional)

onion powder

hot sauce ((optional)

flour

tsp baking powder

garlic powder

paprika

tsp cayenne pepper, powdered ((optional)

tbsp milk (optional)

In a small bowl, rinse the shrimp and pat dry.

Season the shrimp with the shrimp seasoning.

In a small lidded container, prepare the dry mixture, cover and shake to combine.

Add the shrimp to the dry mixture, cover the container and shake to coat the shrimp.

In another small bowl, prepare the egg mixture and whisk together. If you choose to omit the milk, whisk the egg and set aside.

Add the shrimp to the wet (egg) mixture, then stir with a large fork until the shrimp is fully coated.

Return the shrimp to the dry mix container, cover and shake once more.

Heat the cooking oil in a large wide frying pan or wok. To know when the oil is ready, sprinkle a pinch of flour in the oil. When bubbles form around the flour, the oil is at the right temperature.

Add the shrimp to the oil one by one, lightly shaking off the excess flour before.

When you have added all the shrimp to the pot, reduce heat to medium.

Turn each shrimp every 2 minutes until cooked and golden brown all over.

Remove the cooked shrimp onto a plate, lined with a thick paper towel.

Let the shrimp cool for a few minutes, then bless up and enjoy it!

Shrimp Tempura Roll (Homemade Sushi)

shrimp

g flour

tsp cornflour ((cornstarch))

125 ml sparkling water

sushi rice ((sticky rice))

cucumber,

shrimp tempura

tsp rice vinegar

nori sheets

pickled ginger

To make the shrimp tempura, mix the flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt and sparkling water to form a light batter of creamy consistency.

In a large pan, add vegetable oil (the amount depending on the size of your pan, but about 2 cups should be enough), heat it up, then coat each shrimp in the batter, shaking any excess.

Fry for about one minute each shrimp, until the outside is golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.

To make the sushi roll, cook the rice according to the packet instruction, adding the rice vinegar to it, then leave it to cool completely.

Place the bamboo mat on the work surface, then cover it with a plastic sheet just to protect it from getting sticky from the rice.

Place the nori sheet on top of the pastic sheet, then spread half of the rice evenly over the nori, then flip the nori upside down so the rice is underneath and the nori sheet on top.

Add half of the shrimp tempura, cucumber sticks, and ginger near the edge of the nori closest to you.

Lift the end of the mat and roll it away using your thumbs to hold the filling in place until the nori forms a roll.

Chops the ends of the roll to make it neat, then cut into equal mini sushi rolls.

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients, so you will have to big rolls.

This spinach artichoke dip is one of our favorite party food ideas!

Party Food Ideas: Spinach Artichoke Dip

cauliflower florets (¾-inch pieces)

garlic

spinach

artichoke

scallions

extra-virgin olive oil (more

Dijon mustard

sea salt

white cheddar cheese

red pepper flakes

baguette (for serving)

Preheat the oven to 450°F and brush an 8-inch cast iron skillet lightly with olive oil.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and garlic and boil until the cauliflower is fork tender, about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the cauliflower and the garlic into a blender, reserving the pot of cooking water.

Set a bowl of ice water nearby. Add the spinach to the boiling water and use a slotted spoon to immediately remove it (it’ll wilt very quickly) and transfer to the ice water to cool completely. Drain and squeeze excess moisture from the spinach. Coarsely chop the spinach and add it to a large bowl with the artichokes and scallions.

Check to make sure that the cauliflower in the blender has (mostly) cooled, then add the yogurt, olive oil, mustard, and salt to the blender and blend until creamy. Add this mixture to the bowl with the spinach and artichokes and stir to combine.

Spread the spinach mixture into the skillet and top with the cheese and pinches of red pepper flakes. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cheese on top is browned and bubbling.

Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve with baguette slices.

cauliflower,

buttermilk

butter, melted

Buffalo Sauce (we used Frank’s!)

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the spices, salt, and the flour. Add the buttermilk and stir until combined. The mixture should be pretty thick!

While the cauliflower bakes, make the buffalo sauce. Combine the buffalo sauce with the melted butter and whisk to combine.

When the cauliflower is done, add the florets into the bowl the hot sauce mixture is in. Toss to combine and enjoy!

It’s a good base recipe but the temperature and times are incredibly off. Either that or she used convection...which is definitely ideal. 375 for 40 minutes does not produce any crisp whatsoever. I turned up the heat to 425 and they are still in the oven getting crispy. Maybe this recipe wasn’t meant to produce crispy “wings” but I think anything battered should be crispy. Good base recipe and really nice information and blog.

I haven't tried the outcome but I do have to say, I love how simple the recipe is to follow. I'm not that great in the kitchen and I was able to produce what looks like to buffalo cauliflower wings. I did increase the temperature towards the end to get more of that crispy look. My boyfriend has been asking for days for me to make this recipe. Let's hope it tastes as good as it looks! Thanks again.

Super yummy!!! I did mine in the air fryer at 350 for 15 minutes and they came out perfect

I just made this recipe and it was just as easy as it looks and just as delicious! I'm happy to add this to my future meals. Have you guys tried this process with any other sides such as BBQ?

So good!! Made gf and vegan!  I made them into tacos; guacamole, pickled onions and shredded lettuce! Super easy as well!

We also used the air fryer! So good! (360 for 14 min.)
Subbed buttermilk for cow milk + apple cider vinegar - great tip! 
Thanks! We will make it again for sure!

We have made this twice now and it is amazing!! My non-vegan husband doesn’t miss the chicken at all 😃 we like ours extra saucy so we make a bit of extra sauce and dip in homemade ranch... so good!!

Great recipe thank you for sharing!!
Can you please tell me is it ok to use them in meal prep? Or eat them cold the next day?

These are absolutely delicious. I made them for my family for one of our get togethers and they had NO idea it was Cauliflower until I told them. Now my husband actually prefers these buffalo cauliflower bites over his favorite restaurants boneless wings.

Excellent. Toss them in Hooters sauce and honestly can hardly tell the difference. My meat loving husband trying to go plant based loves them!

I used almond milk with the apple cider vinegar for mine. They were super tasty and very filling. Will 100 percent make again!

Wow so delish and so easy to make vegan! I used soy milk and ACV, and vegan butter to make these. I served it with vegan ranch!

I LOVE these buffalo cauliflower wings! I used Bob Red Mill's 1:1 GF flour and almond milk + apple cider vinegar  and it came out perfect and crispy.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good these were.  I didn’t have buttermilk so I took your suggestion to substitute apple cider vinegar and milk.  The extra bonus is there aren’t any bones!
Thank you for the tasty treat.

Oh my gosh! These were AMAZING! I LOVE wings but hate all the mess! These are great and I even tossed some in BBQ sauce for my daughter who does not like hot sauce. She told me she likes them better than wings! Thanks for the great recipe!

This was fantastic! 
The cauliflower was cooked to the perfect consistency and we were pleasantly surprised. 
Thank you for sharing!!

Would you recommend baking these on one of those cooling racks I see in the photo?

This has become our favorite "happy hour/pub" snack.  So yummy.  We have made these twice in the last month and plan to make again for Super Bowl treat.  My husband isn't a wing fan but has been asking specifically for these!  Thanks for sharing a great veggie option.

These were fantastic ... totally scratched the Buffalo Wing itch but left room for me to have a few drinks in my calorie counting. Best way to eat cauliflower, period. Will make again ... easy, fast and totally hit the spot.

Tastes amazing!!!  Hubby even loved it and he's not a veggie eater but loves wings so it's a win win!!!

Looks amazing... except for the puss liquid u use.. pretty gross. But it's pretty great just using unsweetened almond creamer or water. Or cashew cream if u have any😁

Hi, quick question, will you marry me? Because I love you for this recipe!!!!! I didn't use buffalo sauce since I used Asian zing sauce, but the coating for that cauliflower is a DELICIOUS vegan base for wings. Wow. Even the non-vegans loved it. Again, love you!

Delicious !  My husband made the Easy Cauliflower Buffalo Wings tonight and we at them all!  He made it per the recipe, in the regular oven. We'll try the air fryer idea next time.  Thanks so much. !

THANK YOU, these were amazing - like everyone says! I personally did them in the air fryer at 400 F for 10 min and it was just perfect (and also way quicker than the oven!). Next time I'll try them with a Korean type of sauce instead of buffalo. But honestly, the mixture was perfect - really crunchy. My boyfriend loved it and I will definitely do it again.

These buffalo cauliflower wings were absolutely perfect! Big crowd pleaser and had just the right amount of crunch.

I did the wing-size pieces in the oven, and they were awesome. Had a bit of batter left and used it for all the little leftover bits of cauliflower,  which I did in my air fryer- 20 minutes total at 375° . Great to snack on!

OMG these were to die for! I always order cauliflower bites when I go out to eat, and these reminded me of them. I've tried making them on my own before, and they always come out soggy. But they were perfect with this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it!

I have made cauli wings many times and never have seemed to find the right recipe, this was the right one! It was soooo delicious. The only thing I recommend is adding a little bit of non stick cooking spray to the parchment because my batter stuck a bit when I flipped them, but overall delicious and the best cauliflower wings i’ve ever had! I tossed them in the buffalo sauce and baked at 400 for an extra 5 minutes and it’s perfection. Thanks so much

Amazing! I didn’t have buttermilk so I used the sour cream milk mixture and they came out perfect. I’m not going to lie I ate the batter raw and could’ve made biscuits with it, it was good. I wasn’t expecting them to be this good, restaurant quality. I’m usually disappointed making Pinterest and TikTok recipes but not this case. Thank you! Definitely using this again.
