• 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

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.
