Ingredients

🍤 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
🥛 1 cup buttermilk
🥚 1 egg
🩹 1 cup fry mix
🌿 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌶️ 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
⚫ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🛢️ 1 cup vegetable or canola oil

For the Honey Bourbon Sauce:
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
🥢 2 tablespoons soy sauce
🌊 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
🍯 1/4 cup honey
🥃 1/4 cup bourbon
🥄 2 tablespoons Lawry's Honey Bourbon Marinade (optional)
🍬 2 tablespoons brown sugar
🌶️ 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
🥄 1 teaspoon grated ginger

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 sauté 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!
