Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined, tails attached
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce
  • 1 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Combine the flour, cornstarch, Cajun seasoning, salt, and granulated garlic in a bag or bowl. Add the shrimp and shake well to coat. Put the whole thing in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the Frank’s hot sauce and butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the butter is melted. Keep warm.
  • Take the shrimp out of the refrigerator and give it another shake to coat again in the flour.
  • Remove the shrimp and discard the flour.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or cast iron pan until hot.
  • Add the shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side, just until crispy. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the shrimp in the pan.
  • Transfer the shrimp to a bowl. Pour the sauce over the top and toss to coat.

Notes

Keep in mind that a pound of shrimp will yield different serving amounts depending on what size shrimp you choose.
