Fried Shrimp by The Cajun Ninja



I really like the ratios on this one. The cook time and temperature make for a great crispy yet tender bite. Give it a try!

    FRIED SHRIMP

    2 lbs Fresh Shrimp
    1 Gallon of Cooking Oil
    2 Tablespoon of Mustard
    2 Tablespoon of Hot Sauce
    2 Eggs
    2 Cups of Flour
    2 Tablespoons of Cajun Seasoning
    1/2 Tablespoon of Salt
    1/2 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder

    Peel and De-vein roughly 2 pounds of fresh shrimp.
    Heat roughly a gallon of oil on a medium/low heat.
    You’ll eventually want to reach 425°.
    Monitor the heat every so often with a thermometer.
    While the oil is heating up, add the mustard and hot sauce to the shrimp.
    Mix thoroughly and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
    When the oil gets to around 425°, you can put your heat to a low setting.
    Maintain until ready to fry.
    With about 10 minutes left on the shrimp, scramble two eggs.
    Add the eggs to the shrimp.
    Mix together the flour, cajun seasoning, salt, and garlic powder.
    When you know your oil is around 425° and you are ready to fry, that is when you mix your shrimp in with your seasoned flour.
    Add a few shrimp at a time to the flour, so that some of the excess marinade can drip off.
    Immediately after battering the shrimp, that is when you want to drop them in the fryer. Quickness is optimal for a nice crispy texture.
    Fry the shrimp for two minutes, and then remove.
    Let the excess oil drip, then pour the shrimp into a pan that’s layered with paper towels.
    Season with a little bit of salt if you like, but it’s completely optional.
    Let them cool a bit and enjoy!

    Not all recipes on the internet are written by someone who knows what they are doing, but this one is the real deal. I followed it as close as I could and the shrimp were the best I've ever tasted. So much flavor that I didn't even need a dipping sauce. Thanks for sharing.

    I thought the mustard/hot sauce was weird. Boy was I wrong. I loved this recipe so much. I wonder how it would turn out with chicken tenders? I'll let y'all know.
