Description
Crispy fried shrimp coated in a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
- Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry the shrimp in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.
- While the shrimp fries, combine the honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until warm and well mixed. Do not boil.
- Toss the hot, fried shrimp immediately in the hot honey mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve right away.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can chill the coated shrimp for 15 minutes before frying.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level of the glaze.
