Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons Buffalo hot sauce
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 heaping tablespoon chopped dill pickle
1 heaping tablespoon minced shallot
1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Peanut or vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup lager beer
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact)
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced diagonally

Steps:

  • Mix the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup hot sauce, the mustard, pickle, shallot and parsley in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the flour, beer and the remaining 3 tablespoons hot sauce in a large bowl; add the shrimp and toss to coat. Working in batches, remove the shrimp from the batter with a slotted spoon and fry until cooked through and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Return the oil to 365 degrees F between batches.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain; keep warm in the oven.

BUFFALO SHRIMP DIP



Buffalo Shrimp Dip image

Serve this with crudites to keep it light; celery and carrot sticks are the perfect vessel for scooping up the Buffalo goodness! You can even add some baked chips to the table, e.g. baked pita chips work great. I minced some of the celery leaf for garnish for a little color. Enjoy!

BUFFALO SHRIMP LETTUCE WRAPS



Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps image

This recipe is sponsored by SeaPak®. Starting with frozen popcorn shrimp is a clever shortcut for this dish. Simply bake them until crispy then toss in a quick Buffalo sauce to pile high in crispy lettuce cups. The toppings channel familiar Buffalo-style accompaniments with chopped celery and carrots, crumbles of blue cheese and a drizzle of creamy ranch dressing.

Provided by Samantha Seneviratne

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 18-ounce package frozen popcorn shrimp, such as SeaPak® Popcorn Shrimp
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup hot sauce
2 celery stalks, finely diced
1/4 cup celery leaves
1 large carrot, peeled and finely diced
1/2 lime, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large head butter lettuce, separated into 12 to 14 large leaves
Crumbled blue cheese, for serving
Ranch dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the popcorn shrimp according to the package directions for the oven.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then whisk in the hot sauce until smooth and combined. Keep warm.
  • Toss together the diced celery, celery leaves, carrots, lime juice, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Transfer the baked popcorn shrimp to a large heatproof bowl. Add the warm sauce and gently toss the shrimp with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
  • To assemble, put about 3 tablespoons of the Buffalo shrimp in the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with the celery-and-carrot mixture and crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle with ranch dressing and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp. Large shrimp (21-25 count per pound) work best for this recipe. They're big enough to hold up to the breading and frying, but not so big that they're difficult to eat.
  • Make sure the shrimp is properly deveined. Deveining removes the dark, gritty vein that runs through the back of the shrimp. This makes the shrimp more visually appealing and easier to eat.
  • Use a light hand when breading the shrimp. You don't want the breading to be too thick, or it will overpower the shrimp. Just coat the shrimp lightly in the flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture.
  • Fry the shrimp until it's golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the shrimp will steam instead of fry.
  • Make the buffalo sauce while the shrimp is frying. This will give the sauce time to thicken and develop its flavor.
  • Serve the buffalo shrimp sandwich immediately. The shrimp is best when it's hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

The Buffalo Shrimp Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The shrimp is crispy and flavorful, and the buffalo sauce adds a nice kick of heat. The sandwich is also customizable, so you can add or remove toppings to suit your taste.
