Ingredients

  • 24 large cooked shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup milk whole preferred
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Frank's hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups vegetable or canola oil

Instructions

  1. Place the flour, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a large Ziploc bag.  Shake to mix well.  Add the shrimp and shake to put a thin coating of flour mixture on each one.

  2. Whisk the egg and milk together in a medium bowl. Carefully remove all of the shrimp from the flour and put on a plate or paper towel.

  3. Each shrimp will need to be placed in the milk mixture and then back in the flour mixture to coat. I usually do 3-4 pieces at a time. Make sure they don't stick together. You can place them back on the plate or paper towel they were on or leave in bag until ready to cook.
  4. In a small saucepan, cook the hot sauce and butter on low heat, stirring occasionally.

  5. Heat 2 cups of oil in large skillet or you can use a fryer to 350 degrees.

  6. Carefully place a few pieces of the shrimp in the hot grease. Cook for 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp is cooked through and breading is a golden brown.

  7. Place on a paper towel once out of the oil to absorb any extra grease.

  8. When ready to serve, coat or drizzle the hot sauce over the shrimp. The sauce can be really spicy so use caution before coating/drizzling over the shrimp.

  9. Serve with ranch dressing.
