PREP TIME: 15-20 MINS

Cook: 1o-12 MINS

Ingredients 

1/2 lb of fresh baby shrimp, peeled

1 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper

1 1/2 cups of Bread crumbs

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 1/2 teaspoons paprika

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 (16 oz.) of sour cream

1 (1 oz.) package Ranch salad dressing mix

1/2 cup Red hot Buffalo Wing Sauce

1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

In a bowl, mix all ingredients, cover and chill for an hour before serving with shrimp.

 

Directions

 

1.Set up a breading station with your shrimp, the flour, the lightly beaten egg, and bread crumbs.

2.Take a handful of shrimp and dip them in the flour, shake off the excess, dip them in the eggs, and then in the the bread crumbs.Make sure each shrimp is coated. Set the coated shrimp aside on a plate while you continue to coat all your shrimp.

3.While you’re coating your shrimp, heat up at least 2 inches of oil to 375˚F in a deep pot.
4.Fry the shrimp in batches to keep the oil a consistent heat. Using a strainer, gently lower some shrimp into the hot oil. Deep fry the shrimp until golden brown and crunchy, about 3-5 minutes.
5. While shrimp are frying, make sure that they don’t stick together.
6.When golden-brown, drain the shrimp on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath. Continue to fry in batches until all the shrimp are cooked.
