Easy Buffalo Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Texas Pete)
• 1 cup canola oil
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 1 pound frozen cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp, thawed

Directions

Combine butter and hot sauce in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until butter is melted, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and keep warm.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Place cornstarch in a shallow bowl and lightly dip shrimp into the cornstarch.

Fry shrimp, working in batches, in the hot oil until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add shrimp to the butter-hot sauce and allow to sit for 3 to 4 minutes.
