Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1.5 cups Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and water together.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, dip it into the egg wash, and then coat it thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Working in batches, fry the breaded shrimp in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the shrimp are frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce by mixing the Buffalo sauce with the melted butter in a small saucepan over low heat until well combined. Remove from heat.
Once all shrimp have been fried, place them in a large mixing bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce over. Toss until the shrimp are fully coated.
For meal prep (OAMC): Allow the shrimp to cool completely. Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1-2 hours. Once frozen, transfer the shrimp to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months.
To reheat: Bake frozen shrimp in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until heated through and crispy. Add additional Buffalo sauce if desired.
Serve the Buffalo shrimp with ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, or as a topping for salads, wraps, or tacos.
