We serve these with ranch for dipping. You could serve with some celery stalks as well. Great for parties or football games. Definite crowd pleaser.

  • Combine flour, lemon pepper seasoning, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk together in a second bowl.

  • Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture to evenly coat. Transfer prepared shrimp to a baking sheet until ready to fry. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to fully cover.

  • Cook 8 to 10 shrimp at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

  • Toss shrimp together with hot sauce in a large bowl until each piece is coated.

Cook's Notes:

We buy the bag of frozen, peeled shrimp you can find in your grocer's cooler in the seafood section.

Thaw shrimp overnight in refrigerator or in a sealed plastic bag placed in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes.
