Buffalo Shrimp
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon hot red pepper sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar, or to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
1 1/2 pounds raw medium to large shrimp, peeled
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Serve with:
Celery sticks
Blue cheese or ranch dressing
Instructions
Make the Buffalo Sauce:
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and add the hot sauce and vinegar to taste. Set aside.
Fry the Shrimp:
In a deep fryer or large kettle, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Toss the peeled shrimp with the flour until they are thoroughly coated.
Fry the shrimp in small batches in the hot oil for about 1 minute, or until cooked through. Make sure to let the oil return to 375°F before adding the next batch.
Drain the fried shrimp on paper towels.
Coat with Buffalo Sauce:
Add the drained shrimp to the reserved sauce and toss to coat them evenly.
Serve:
Serve the Buffalo Shrimp immediately with celery sticks and your choice of Buffalo Shrimp Dip, blue cheese, or ranch dressing.
