Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (for dipping sauce)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, add the buttermilk and the peeled, deveined shrimp. Let the shrimp soak in the buttermilk for 10 minutes while preparing the coating and oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the shrimp.
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture. Coat evenly and set aside.
Carefully add the shrimp to the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
To prepare the Chesapeake dipping sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if desired), and Old Bay seasoning in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the crispy shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges and the Chesapeake dipping sauce on the side.
