Hot Honey Fried Shrimp

Ingredients

• Argentinian shrimp (Peeled and deveined; amount not specified)
• Fried fish breading mix (Amount not specified)
• Seasoned breadcrumbs (Amount not specified)
• All-purpose seasoning (Use a small amount; the breading mix is already seasoned. Amount not specified.)
• 2 Eggs
• Vegetable oil (For frying; amount not specified)
• Capital City Mumbo Sauce (Stir into melted butter; adjust amount to taste)
• Nectar hot honey (Stir into the sauce; adjust amount to taste)
• Butter (Amount not specified)
• Chopped parsley (For sprinkling; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Pat the shrimp thoroughly dry so the breading adheres.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the fried fish breading mix, seasoned breadcrumbs, and a small amount of all-purpose seasoning. Use a light hand because the breading is already seasoned.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs.

4. 4

   Dip each shrimp in the beaten egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Dip it in the egg again and coat it a second time for a double-crusted coating.

5. 5

   Let the coated shrimp rest for 5–10 minutes.

6. 6

   Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

7. 7

   Fry the shrimp in small batches for about 2–3 minutes, depending on size, until golden and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan.

8. 8

   Transfer the fried shrimp to a wire rack to drain and help keep the coating crisp.

9. 9

   In a pan over medium-low heat, gently melt the butter.

10. 10

    Stir the Capital City Mumbo Sauce and Nectar hot honey into the melted butter, adjusting the amounts to taste.

11. 11

    Lightly toss the fried shrimp in the warm sauce just before serving.

12. 12

    Sprinkle the shrimp with chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

The source gives no quantities for the shrimp, breading, seasoning, frying oil, sauce, butter, or parsley, so adjust these to the batch size and taste. No serving yield is stated; four servings is an estimate.
