  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk*

  • 5 dashes louisiana hot sauce

  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

• Dry Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup flour

  • 2 tbsp corn flour

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tsp onion powder

  • 2 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp black pepper

• 5 dashes hot sauce

• 2 dashes worcestershire

• 1/2 tsp lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika

Instructions:

1. Pour the vegetable oil into a sauté pan until it is about 2 inches deep, and heat over medium heat while prepping the shrimp

2. Combine all the "wet ingredients" in one bowl and all of the "dry ingredients" in another. Fully coat the shrimp in the wet, followed by the dry.

3. When a sprinkle of the dry breading causes the oil to bubble and sizzle, the oil is hot enough. Fry the shrimp in small batches for about two minutes each batch.

4. While the shrimp are frying, combine all the ingredients for the remoulade in a small bowl.

5. When each batch of shrimp comes out of the oil, place them on a paper towel lined plate or a wire rack to drain, and sprinkle with salt.

6. Enjoy your easy fried shrimp with remoulade sauce!

* Whole milk can be used instead of buttermilk.

* I highly recommend using cajun whole grain mustard, as it has horseradish in it.
