This shrimp is deep fried and then coated with a very spicy buffalo sauce. Not for the faint of heart! I love this served with bleu cheese dressing for dipping. Prep time includes resting time in the refrigerator.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons creole seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb large shrimp, peeled
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
6 ounces hot sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
1. Combine the flour, creole seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, and black pepper in a zip lock bag.
2. Shake the bag to mix the flour and spices.
3. Rinse the shrimp under cold water; place in the bag and shake to coat the shrimp.
4. Lay the shrimp in a casserole dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest; do not discard the seasoned flour.
5. Combine the minced garlic, butter, hot sauce and cayenne in a saucepan; heat until the butter is melted and keep warm.
6. In a deep fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees.
7. Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and re-coat with the remaining seasoned flour.
8. Place the shrimp in the hot oil and fry about 2-3 minutes, or until pink; fry in batches if necessary.
9. Immediately coat with the spicy buffalo sauce and serve.
