CRISPY FRIED SHRIMP

Classic, Crispy Fried Shrimp is so much easier to make at home than you think. Just a few, simple pantry ingredients and you’re on your way to fried perfection.

Ingredients

Canola oil for frying
24 ounces large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Egg Wash
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk (or milk)
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Batter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
Dipping Sauce:
3/4 cup mayo
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce

How To Make Crispy Fried Shrimp

Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Line a large plate with a paper towel, set aside.
In a cake pan or pie plate whisk together eggs and buttermilk. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
In another cake pan, mix together the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Add shrimp to the egg mixture and coat well. A few at a time, add the shrimp to the flour and coat completely. Place on a clean plate while you bread the remaining shrimp.
Add shrimp to skillet making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Drain on prepared plate. Continue until all shrimp is fried.
Dipping Sauce
Mix mayo and sweet chili sauce in a bowl for dipping.

Notes

Breading the shrimp with less mess:
First, when you set up your little breading station you’ll want two pie plates or cake pans ideally. You can use bowls if necessary but the wide, shallow shape of pie or cake pans makes the process much easier.

One cake pan will have the liquid ingredients, in this case, an egg and buttermilk. The second pan will hold the dry ingredients, flour, cornmeal and spices for a major flavor punch.

Use one hand (I usually use my left since I move through the process left to right) to coat the shrimp in the egg mixture. Pick up the shrimp with the wet hand and place it in the flour mixture. Now use your other hand to gently coat the shrimp.

Because you aren’t going back and forth with both hands they aren’t getting goopy and gross. One hand will have egg and one hand flour but not a big lumpy mess.

Ribeye steak

Ribeye steak – Don’t LOSE this recipe

Ingredients

1 rib steak
Sea salt flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
50g butter

2 sprigs of thyme

1 clove of crushed garlic with its skin

Directions

Take the steak out of the refrigerator at least half an hour before cooking it until it reaches room temperature. This is an important step in ensuring that the steaks are cooked evenly.

When ready to cook, generously season the steak. Sprinkle with lots of salt and pepper on both sides, and set on top to get an even coverage.

Heat a frying pan. If you are cooking two slices of steak, make sure the pan is large enough to fit the slices comfortably. Otherwise, use two pans and heat them simultaneously. Add the steak to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side (depending on the desired thickness and degree). As a guideline, a 3cm steak should be cooked after 5 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, the indoor temperature should be 50 ° C for rarity, 60 ° C for average and 70 ° C for good cooking.

After turning the steak for the first time, add the butter, thyme and garlic and stir for one minute. To do this, tilt the pan towards you until the butter collects at the bottom of the pan, then pour the butter over the steak repeatedly.

Removing steak from skillet & permit it rest for 5 min . Don’t be tempt to skip this step, it is esentiel . During the cooking process, the meat particles stick together, so if you cut the steaks right after cooking, all the juices on the board will run out. The rest time allows the particles to relax and reabsorb their fluids, which means you won’t lose those delicious juices when slicing.

Cut the steaks into strips, season and serve with your choice of side dishes and sauce.
