Buttermilk French Fried Shrimp With Remoulade Recipes

BUTTERMILK FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Whisk salt, cayenne, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl to blend.
• Attach a deep-fry thermometer to side of a heavy wide pot. Add enough oil to measure 2". Heat over medium heat to 350°F.
• Meanwhile, place shrimp and 2 tablespoons spice mix in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Pour buttermilk into another medium bowl. Whisk flour and cornmeal in another medium bowl.
• Dip seasoned shrimp briefly in buttermilk, then coat with flour mixture. Working in batches, fry shrimp, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Serve shrimp with rémoulade sauce.

BUTTERMILK FRENCH FRIED SHRIMP WITH REMOULADE

Steps:

• For the remoulade: Stir together the mayonnaise, capers, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and scallions in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the shrimp: Toss the shrimp with the flour, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg together in a medium bowl. Mix the French fried onions and panko in a shallow bowl. Working one at a time, shake the excess flour off the shrimp, and then dip to coat in the buttermilk. Let the excess buttermilk drip off, and then coat thoroughly in the onion-panko mixture. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Fill a large deep skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add half of the shrimp and fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Return the oil to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Sprinkle with salt while hot out of the fryer.
• Serve immediately with the remoulade and ketchup.
