Crispy Fried Shrimp Recipe

flour

Salt

Old Bay seasoning

black pepper

buttermilk

peanut oil or vegetable oil, for frying

shrimp,

Optional, for serving: tartar sauce (or other dipping sauce); lemon wedges; fresh parsley

In a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon salt, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper.

Place the buttermilk in a separate shallow bowl.

Pour the oil into a medium Dutch oven or cast iron skillet and warm over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.

Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and dredge them in the flour mixture first, then coat with buttermilk, and dredge in the flour mixture again. Shake the shrimp after each coating to get off any excess flour or batter.

Working in batches, fry shrimp until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined tray. Season with additional salt, to taste. You may need to increase the heat to keep the oil at a steady temperature between 350 degrees F and 375 degrees F as the shrimp fry.

Keep the fried shrimp warm in a 200 degree F oven while you fry the remaining batches.

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)

tsp baking powder

garlic powder

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!
