Ingredients

Buffalo Sauce:

6ounceshot pepper sauce
• 2 ½tablespoonsbutter, melted
• 4clovesgarlic, minced
• 1teaspoonground cayenne pepper

Directions

Combine flour, Creole-style seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and black pepper in a large resealable plastic bag.

Rinse shrimp under cold water and place them in flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake until shrimp are well coated with flour mixture. Spread coated shrimp on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside flour mixture in the bag.

Meanwhile, make sauce: Whisk together hot sauce, butter, garlic, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Remove shrimp from the refrigerator and shake once more in flour mixture; discard flour mixture.

Working in batches, fry shrimp in hot oil until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove fried shrimp to a serving bowl and coat with sauce.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
