Ingredients

🥛 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
🥚 1 large egg
🧈 2 tablespoons butter, melted
🌶️ 1/2 cup hot sauce
🍅 2 tablespoons ketchup
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🌿 1 packet Sazon seasoning
🌑 1 teaspoon black pepper
🌿 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
🍤 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions

1- Prepare the Buttermilk:

• If you don't have buttermilk, simply combine 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
• Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until thickened.

2- Marinate the Shrimp:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and half the hot sauce.
• Add the shrimp to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged.
• Allow them to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

3- Mix Seasonings:

• In a separate bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Sazon, black pepper, and half of the chopped parsley.

4- Coat the Shrimp:

• Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk mixture, letting excess drip off.
• Coat each shrimp with the prepared seasoning mix evenly.

5- Fry the Shrimp:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
• Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6- Prepare Buffalo Sauce:

• In a small saucepan, combine the melted butter, remaining hot sauce, and ketchup.
• Heat over low heat, stirring, until the butter is fully melted and well combined.

7- Toss the Shrimp:

• In a large bowl, gently toss the fried shrimp with the buffalo sauce until they’re fully coated.

8- Garnish and Serve:

• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the remaining parsley.
• Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch and spice!
