Buffalo Shrimp
Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1⁄2 tsp cayenne pepper
1⁄2 tsp salt
1⁄4 tsp black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
Oil for frying
1⁄2 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp honey
Instructions
In a large resealable plastic bag, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt and black pepper. Seal and shake to combine.
Place the beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip each shrimp first in the eggs, then place in the bag with the flour mixture. Seal and shake to thoroughly coat the shrimp. Refrigerate the coated shrimp for 20-30 minutes.
Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F. Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a wire rack.
In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Frank's Red Hot sauce, and honey until combined.
Brush or toss the fried shrimp in the buffalo sauce mixture until evenly coated. Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
