Ingredients
- 1 lb jumbo shrimp
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 4 french bread/rolls
- vegetable oil
- 1 head lettuce, sliced
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
Old Bay Sauce
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- ¼ cup Mayo
- 1 tbsp old bay seasoning
- ½ lemon, juiced/squeezed
- 3 tbsps sour cream
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Add shrimp to a large bowl and season with red pepper flakes, ground coriander, and onion powder. Add milk and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine flour, chili powder, garlic powder, parsley, thyme, and smoked paprika. Mix together.
- While shrimp is sitting, make the old bay sauce. In a small bowl, combine dijon mustard, mayo, old bay seasoning, lemon juice, sour cream, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Mix together until smooth.
- Heat about 1-inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once shrimp is finished sitting, dip each shrimp in the flour mixture. It should be fully submerged. Remove it and set it aside on a plate or cooling rack.
- Test the oil by adding a tiny pinch of flour. If the flour bubbles, the oil is ready. Add 4-5 shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until shrimp is crispy and golden.
- Spread old bay sauce on the buns. Place lettuce, tomato, red onions, and shrimp into the buns.
