buffalo shrimp

i love buffalo shrimp! i loved them from the minute i first tried them from hooters. well the hooters out here closed down so now i need to make my own. i came up with this recipe from trial and error

buffalo shrimp

1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 egg
1 cup water
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup (or more to taste) of your favorite buffalo wing sauce
oil for frying

preheat oil over medium heat in frying pan.

Mix together egg, water and cornstarch in one bowl. in another bowl, mix together flour, garlic powder and pepper.

Dredge shrimp through the egg/ cornstarch water. Then place in flour mixture. Repeat if you'd like for extra coating (i normally dont just to keep the calories lower)

Place shrimp in frying pan in batches and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side- until shrimp is opaque and cooked through.

When shrimp are done, remove to cooling rack (to prevent from getting soggy.) when all the shrimp are cooked, put them in a container and pour buffalo wing sauce over, Shake to coat shrimp. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Enjoy!
