Ingredients:
- Canola oil
- 2 large beaten eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Cholula hot sauce
- 2 pounds large peeled, deveined raw shrimp
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- For serving: lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, rémoulade (optional)
How To Make Zesty Cajun-Crisped Shrimps:
Step 1: Pour canola oil into a large deep skillet, reaching a depth of 2 inches. Heat over medium-high until it reaches 370°F. While the oil heats, whisk together beaten eggs, whole milk, and Cholula hot sauce in a shallow dish. Add shrimp to the mixture, ensuring an even coating. In a separate dish, combine flour, cornmeal, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Step 2: Take 6 to 8 shrimp from the egg mixture, shaking off excess, and coat them in the flour mixture. Place the coated shrimp in the hot oil, frying until achieving a golden, crisp perfection, approximately 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried shrimp to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining shrimp, ensuring the oil returns to 370°F before each batch.
Step 3: Serve these irresistible Zesty Cajun-Crisped Shrimps with lemon wedges, accompanied by cocktail sauce and rémoulade for an extra touch of gourmet indulgence. Elevate your dining experience with this unique twist on a classic favorite. Enjoy the crispy delight!
