📝 Preparation Steps

Thaw

To prepare your shrimp for frying, thaw them in gently running cold water until soft and pliable, about ⏱️ 15 minutes. You can also thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Always avoid thawing seafood on the countertop, microwave, or using hot water.

Combine

While your shrimp is thawing, prepare your remoulade by adding mayonnaise, hot sauce, grainy mustard, garlic, dill pickle relish, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp Tony’s, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to a mixing bowl.

grainy mustard ($0.12)2 Tbspgarlic, minced ($0.05)2 clovesdill pickle relish ($0.24)3 TbspWorcestershire sauce ($0.01)1 tsp

Whisk to combine and set aside.

Prepare

In 3 separate mixing bowls, prepare your steps for frying; in bowl #1, you will want to have the flour. Then, in bowl #2, you will want to beat together the eggs and buttermilk. In bowl #3, you will want to mix 2 tsp Tony’s, black pepper, and panko.

eggs ($0.34)2

Toss

First, toss your shrimp in the #1 bowl of flour.

Dredge

Then, dip the floured shrimp in the #2 bowl of beaten egg and buttermilk.

Cover

Finally, toss the shrimp in the panko spice mix. (I like to get all of my shrimp ready to fry at the same time so when it comes time to drop them in the oil, I can focus on the frying shrimp without the risk of burning a batch.)

Heat

In a heavy bottomed skillet, heat up the vegetable on medium heat. The oil should be around 350 to 375 degrees, but hotter than that will burn your oil and result in poor flavor. You can use a meat thermometer to check.

Fry

Once your oil is ready to fry, use tongs or a fork to place enough shrimp in the oil without overcrowding. Flip after ⏱️ 1-2 minutes with tongs. (Just ⏱️ 1-2 minutes on each side will do!)

Drain

Place the fried shrimp onto a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serve

Once your shrimps are all golden fried, make your shrimp Po’ Boys! I recommend you be generous with that remoulade! Enjoy with shaved iceberg lettuce, extra hot sauce, and chopped tomatoes in a sliced baguette.
