Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a better flavor and texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Devein the shrimp: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can give the shrimp a bitter taste.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs helps to infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it is important to cook them over high heat for a short amount of time. Overcooking the shrimp will make them tough and chewy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Buffalo Mexican Shrimp Skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With their spicy and flavorful coating, these shrimp skewers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
