Gulf Fried Shrimp Recipes

CRUNCHY FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a medium bowl until frothy. Mix flour, salt and pepper in another medium bowl. Dredge shrimp in flour, shake off excess. Dip shrimp into eggs, then press shrimp into Panko; turn shrimp over and press into Panko again to coat both sides.
• Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 2 inches; heat to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, add shrimp to hot oil; deep-fry until cooked through, about 1 minute. Using tongs transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange shrimp on platter. If desired, serve with Kikkoman Tonkatsu Sauce for dipping.

GRILLED GULF SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium heat.
• Slide the shrimp onto skewers, putting 4 shrimp on each. Sprinkle the skewers with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp until they are opaque and fully cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the shrimp from the grill and brush with barbeque sauce. Serve immediately.

THE BEST GARLIC SHRIMP IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

Steps:

• In a large Ziplock freezer bag, mix everything except the butter and swish it around good to coat all of the shrimp. Or, mix everything in a large bowl and cover TIGHTLY with Saran wrap.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat large heavy bottom pan with the butter in it on medium. Toss shrimp around for about 10 minutes until pink and lightly browned.
• TIPS: Do not substitute with garlic powder OR dried parsley! Sea salt is stronger than table salt so use less than normal. Table salt can be substituted.
• Serve with steak or pasta with a white sauce.
• I KNOW THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE, BUT I MADE IT THIS WAY TONIGHT AND IT WAS SO UNBELIEVABLE THAT I HAD TO POST IT! EVEN BETTER THAN MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE!

EASY GARLIC FRIED SHRIMP

GULF FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. You will need several bowls. One bowl for flour and one for egg and milk. Use a fork and mix egg and milk together. Once the shrimp have been cleaned, place them in the egg/milk mixture and then cover them with flour. Drop in hot oil. I usually make sure the oil is really hot before placing them in it. You must have enough oil to cover the shrimp (deep fry). They should float to the top or when they become a golden brown take them up drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 2. Note: I sometimes salt and pepper my egg mixture and flour mixture. This is optional. I leave the tails off too. Some people like the tails on and that's ok but we totally clean the shrimp and split them down the back to devein them. Hope you enjoy!
