Instructions
1- Prepare the Shrimp:
- In a bowl, mix the buttermilk and egg. Add the shrimp and let it marinate for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- In a separate bowl or large ziplock bag, combine the fry mix, garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper.
2- Coat the Shrimp:
- Remove the marinated shrimp from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Add the shrimp to the fry mix and shake well to coat them evenly.
3- Fry the Shrimp:
- Heat the vegetable or canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the shrimp for perfect crispiness.
- Fry the shrimp in batches, turning occasionally until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4- Make the Honey Bourbon Sauce:
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautรฉ until fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, bourbon, Lawry's Honey Bourbon Marinade (if using), brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, and grated ginger.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
5- Combine and Serve:
- Add the fried shrimp to a large bowl and pour the honey bourbon sauce over them. Gently toss to ensure each shrimp is well coated.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
