Instructions

1 First, in a deep bowl combine raw shrimp, 1/3cup of buttermilk, 1 egg, 1/4tsp
ground paprika, 1/4tsp garlic powder, 1/4tsp onion salt, 1tsp of salt and 1/4tsp
of black pepper. Mix well to combine, cover with plastic wrap and let it
marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, in a different dish combine all the breading ingredients. 3/4cup all
purpose flour, 3tbsp corn starch, 1/4tsp paprika, 1/4tsp onion salt, 1/4tsp
garlic powder and 1/4tsp of salt. Mix flour.
3 Then, in a small/medium sized pot, preheat 3-4 cups of oil to 350F on
medium-high heat. (If you don't have a thermometer, the best way to know if your
oil is ready for frying is when you place a wooden spoon inside and you see many
little bubbles around the spoon. If you don't see that, do not add shrimps,
continue preheating.)
4 Once your oil temperature is hot enough, dip each shrimp into the flour mixture
and deep fry in the hot oil until they are golden brown in color. Do this in
batches, do NOT add too many shrimps at once for best results.
5 Once your first batch is done, Use a slotted spoon to take out the shrimps and
transfer them to a dish lined with a paper towels to absorb excess oil and
repeat with the leftover shrimp.If you own a deep fryer, add oil and preheat to
about 350F and deep fry in batches until the shrimps are golden brown in color.
6 You can make this dish a complete meal and serve these crispy crunchy fried
shrimp with french fries. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired or add
some lemon wedges to the side to fancy it up a bit and serve with some dipping
options.
7 These crispy fried shrimps pair well with cocktail sauce
[https://amzn.to/3TeMLMx], tartar sauce [https://amzn.to/43dyjZI] or any of your
favorite dipping sauces. My kids enjoyed them with Chik-Fil-A
[https://amzn.to/3TxiBWk] sauce but my personal favorite is garlic aioli sauce.
