Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

02

Step
0 mins

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

03

Step
0 mins

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Dip shrimp in egg mixture, then dredge in flour mixture to evenly coat. Transfer shrimp to a baking sheet in a single layer until ready to fry; sprinkle remaining flour to fully cover as needed.

04

Step
5 mins

Carefully lower shrimp, in batches of 8 to 10, into the hot oil; fry until golden brown and cooked through on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

05

Step
0 mins

Toss shrimp with hot sauce in a large bowl until completely coated.

For extra crispiness, try double-dredging the shrimp in the flour mixture.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level. A dash of smoked paprika in the flour mixture adds a lovely smoky depth.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
