Number Of Ingredients 15

GOOD AND SPICY COCKTAIL SAUCE
1/2 cup(s) prepared american-style chili sauce
1 tablespoon(s) prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice
- hot red pepper sauce
LADY MARMALADE SAUCE
1/2 cup(s) orange marmalade
2 tablespoon(s) dijon mustard
1 clove(s) garlic,crushed through a press
SHRIMP
2 package(s) extra large (26/30 per pound) shrimp
- vegetable oil, for deep frying
3 large eggs
1 cup(s) all purpose flour
- salt and pepper

Steps:

  • To make the cocktail sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and let stand at room temp for 1 hour.
  • To make marmalade sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the marmalade over low heat. Stir in the mustard and garlic. Let stand in a warm place until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 200. Peel and devein the shrimp, keeping the tail intact. To butterfly the shrimp, using a small sharp knife, cut into the deveining incision of each shrimp, cutting almost, but not completely through to the underside. Open up the shrimp like a book.
  • Pour enough oil into a large skillet, preferably a cast iron, to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is very hot, but not smoking.(if using a electric skillet, heat to 365)
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Place the flour in another medium bowl. Frying the shrimp in 2 or 3 batches, dip the shrimp in the egg and then coat with the flour, shaking off the excess flour. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using the skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a paper towel lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while frying the remaining shrimp.
  • Season the fried shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with the dips.
