  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Seasoned Flour

Hot Sauce

Here's how to make it: 

  1. To make the hot sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepot. Season with salt and pepper. Heat until butter is melted and everything is combined and smooth. Set aside.
  2. To make the shrimp, make a breading station by whisking the eggs and buttermilk in a bowl. Put all of the seasoned flour ingredients into another shallow bowl.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees F). Dip the shrimp into the flour, then into the buttermilk, then back into the flour. 
  4. Put the shrimp into the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan. Fry shrimp for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  5. Liberally brush the shrimp with the hot sauce. Serve with pickles.
