Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
½ cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 eggs
1 teaspoon milk
30 frozen medium shrimp - thawed, shelled, and deveined
¼ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), or to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
Combine flour, lemon pepper seasoning, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk together in a second bowl.
Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture to evenly coat. Transfer prepared shrimp to a baking sheet until ready to fry. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to fully cover.
Cook 8 to 10 shrimp at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Toss shrimp together with hot sauce in a large bowl until each piece is coated.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp (21-25 shrimp per pound - peeled and deveined, with or without the tails removed)
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp buffalo sauce (or to taste)

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the flour, salt and pepper and garlic powder to a gallon size ziploc bag.
Add the shrimp and shake well.
Shake off any excess flour and add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer.
Cook on one side for about two minutes, or until the shrimp are light golden brown. Turn them over and cook for another minute or two or until both sides are light golden brown and the flesh is slightly opaque. Do not overcook, or they will be tough.
When the shrimp are done, remove the skillet from the heat and add the buffalo sauce. Stir until well coated and serve hot.
