CRUNCHY FRIED SHRIMP



Crunchy Fried Shrimp image

I've guessed on cook time here. These are the crunchiest shrimp I've had outside of a restaurant! This makes alot, but if you are going to make these you may as well go all out!! Everyone loves them! These have received so many mixed reviews that I thought maybe I should mention that I deep fry them in a Presto Fry Daddy and not very many at a time. I never said they were easy...and I get better each time I do it. Thanks for giving them so much attention!

FIRECRACKER SHRIMP ROLL WITH CRAB AIOLI



Firecracker Shrimp Roll with Crab Aioli image

Inspired by a shrimp po'boy with crab mayo seen on 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,' I decided to do an extra spicy version and give it a 4th of July-friendly name. The result is an explosively flavored combination of hot, crunchy shrimp and cold crabby mayo. This was one of the best things I've had in a long time, and that's after eating it barely warm; for best results, though, be sure to enjoy this just as soon as it's safe to eat, in all its crunchy glory.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup lump crabmeat
2 cloves garlic, finely crushed
salt to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cornmeal

6 soft sandwich rolls
2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce

1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, crab, garlic, salt, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and tarragon in a bowl for the crab aioli. Stir to combine and refrigerate until needed.
  • Remove tails from shrimp and keep chilled until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk buttermilk, hot sauce, chipotle pepper, cayenne, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, and salt together in a shallow dish for the breading.
  • Slice partway through each sandwich roll, splitting it open. Scoop out some bread from the top to make room for the filling.
  • Toast rolls in the preheated oven until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Soak shrimp in the buttermilk mixture for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Spread crab aioli generously over both sides of each roll; top with sliced lettuce.
  • Toss shrimp in the breading to coat; shake off any excess. Fry shrimp in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and immediately transfer shrimp onto the rolls. Sprinkle cayenne pepper on top.

CRUNCHY FRIED SHRIMP WITH CAYENNE AïOLI



Crunchy Fried Shrimp with Cayenne Aïoli image

Southern cornmeal crusted deep-fried shrimp.

Categories     Shellfish     Fry     Cocktail Party     Mardi Gras     Mayonnaise     Cornmeal     Shrimp     Spice     Bon Appétit

Yield 6 Appetizer Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 cups regular or low-fat mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Peanut oil (for frying)
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and mustard in small bowl to blend. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate.)
  • Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 2 inches; heat to 375°F. Mix cornmeal, salt and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne in medium bowl. Add shrimp to bowl; toss to coat. Working in batches, add shrimp to hot oil and deep-fry until shrimp are golden and opaque in center, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain.
  • Place aioli in center of platter; surround with shrimp and serve.

Tips:

  • To make sure your shrimp is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check that it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can make your own by processing regular breadcrumbs in a food processor until they are fine and crumbly.
  • To add a bit of spice to your shrimp, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or paprika into the breadcrumb mixture before coating the shrimp.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy shrimp.
  • For a healthier version of this dish, you can bake the shrimp instead of frying it. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the shrimp for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.

Conclusion:

Crunchy fried shrimp with cayenne aioli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp is coated in a flavorful breadcrumb mixture and then fried until golden brown and crispy. The cayenne aioli adds a touch of spice and creaminess that takes this dish to the next level. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
