Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in a bowl.
Pour the buttermilk over the shrimp, ensuring all shrimp are covered. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Stir until evenly blended.
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the spice mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, ensuring each shrimp is evenly covered.
In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the shrimp hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges.
