Crispy Buffalo Shrimp

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 30 frozen medium shrimp – thawed, shelled, and deveined
• 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot), or to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.

Combine flour, lemon pepper seasoning, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk together in a second bowl.

Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture to evenly coat. Transfer prepared shrimp to a baking sheet until ready to fry. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to fully cover.

Cook 8 to 10 shrimp at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Toss shrimp together with hot sauce in a large bowl until each piece is coated.
