Ingredients

🍤 Shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1 pound)
🍊 Orange Sauce, enough to coat shrimp (store-bought or homemade)
🌾 1 cup All-purpose Flour
🌶️ Assorted Spices (such as paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and salt)
🛢️ Vegetable Oil, for frying
🧈 4 tablespoons Butter
🧄 3 cloves Garlic, minced
🌿 2 tablespoons fresh Parsley, chopped
🌶️ Hot Sauce, to taste

Instructions

1- Prepare the Shrimp:

• Place shrimp in a bowl and add enough orange sauce to fully coat them. Mix well and let them marinate for a few minutes.

2- Coat the Shrimp:

• In a separate plastic bag, combine flour and your choice of spices. Add the marinated shrimp to the bag, seal it, and shake well to coat the shrimp evenly.

3- Fry the Shrimp:

• Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is hot (around 350°F), carefully add shrimp without overcrowding the pan.
• Fry the shrimp for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they become golden brown and crispy.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce:

• In a small bowl, melt butter. Add minced garlic and chopped parsley, and mix well.

5- Finish the Dish:

• Pour the garlic butter mixture over the fried shrimp.
• Add hot sauce to taste, mixing gently to ensure the shrimp are well coated.

6- Garnish and Serve:

• Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra hot sauce if desired.
• Serve immediately as an appetizer or alongside your favorite sides as a main course.
