I absolutely love spicy foods! My all time favorite is Buffalo wings, but when I came across this recipe for Buffalo shrimp, I knew I had to try it. These had just enough kick and I served mine with a chipotle mayo. I highly recommend this recipe as a good appetizer for your next party.
Serves: 2
Ready In: 30+ minutes
Ingredients:
***Buffalo Sauce***
1/4 cup hot sauce
1/4 cup butter
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 dash black pepper
1 dash garlic powder
***Shrimp***
12 uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
Directions:
Buffalo Sauce:
Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is mixed through.
Cover, and keep warm over low heat.
Shrimp:
Combine egg and milk in a small bowl.
Place flour in a large zip-type bag.
Coat six of the shrimp with egg mixture, then toss them in the bag of flour and shake well to coat.
Leave these shrimp in the bag, and repeat the process with the remaining shrimp. Make sure they are all well coated with flour.
Refrigerate about 5 minutes while the deep fryer heats up to 375 F.
Deep fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until shrimp tails are dark brown.
Remove, drain, and toss gently with Buffalo Sauce.
