CRISPY FRIED SHRIMP RECIPE



Crispy Fried Shrimp Recipe image

The best fried shrimp recipe is dipped in buttermilk, dredged in a light and crispy seasoned flour coating, and fried to golden brown perfection!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Appetizer     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups self-rising flour
Salt
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups buttermilk
4 cups peanut oil or vegetable oil, for frying
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Optional, for serving: tartar sauce (or other dipping sauce); lemon wedges; fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon salt, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper.
  • Place the buttermilk in a separate shallow bowl.
  • Pour the oil into a medium Dutch oven or cast iron skillet and warm over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and dredge them in the flour mixture first, then coat with buttermilk, and dredge in the flour mixture again. Shake the shrimp after each coating to get off any excess flour or batter.
  • Working in batches, fry shrimp until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined tray. Season with additional salt, to taste. You may need to increase the heat to keep the oil at a steady temperature between 350 degrees F and 375 degrees F as the shrimp fry.
  • Keep the fried shrimp warm in a 200 degree F oven while you fry the remaining batches.

1 1/2 tsp paprika*
1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Pour panko into a 3rd shallow dish (a pie plate works well here).
  • Preheat oil in a large pot to 350 degrees while you coat shrimp. Note that shrimp should be lightly wet on the exterior, if not rinse with water and drain well otherwise the flour won't stick in the next step.
  • Dredge shrimp in flour mixture on both sides. Transfer to egg mixture and coat on both sides. Then finish by coating in panko on both sides, while pressing into panko so it adheres well.
  • Fry shrimp in batches (no more than 10 at a time) until cooked through, about 1 minute. Bring oil back to 350 degree temperature between batches.
  • Use a large spider to remove shrimp from oil and transfer to a baking sheet lined with two layers of paper towels to drain. Repeat process with remaining shrimp.
  • Garnish shrimp with parsley if desired, serve with lemon wedges and your favorite shrimp sauce (such as cocktail sauce, honey mustard, tartar sauce, sriracha dip, creamy herb etc).

FRIED SHRIMP



Fried Shrimp image

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 2 pounds of shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds wild-caught shrimp
3 cups ketchup (recommended: Heinz)
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup lime juice
100-percent pure soybean oil, for fryer
All-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Peel and devein the shrimp by using a pair of kitchen scissors to cut along the outer edge of the shrimp's back, cutting the shell so you can get to the vein. Using a small paring knife, cut along the outer edge of the shrimp's back, about 1/2 inch deep. If you can see it, remove and discard the vein that runs along right under the surface of the back, with your fingers or the tip of your knife. Your shrimp must have a butterfly cut.
  • Preheat the oil in your fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the ketchup, pepper, cumin, garlic, salt, lime juice, and 1 cup water in a bowl. Have another mixing bowl with some flour ready. You will immerse the peeled and deveined shrimp in the sauce, and then dip the seasoned shrimp, 1 by 1, into the flour. Carefully place in the fryer and cook for 2 minutes. Repeat until all the shrimp have been fried.
