Cajun Fried Shrimp

Ingredients:

For Crunchy Shrimp:

• 12 large raw prawns, peeled with tails intact
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons Cajun spice
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

For Cajun Sauce:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

Instructions:

For Cajun Sauce:

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, and Cajun seasoning. Whisk together and set aside.

For Cajun Crunchy Shrimp:

1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, lemon zest, and Cajun seasoning.
2. In another bowl, beat egg and milk together.
3. Place panko breadcrumbs on a plate.
4. Arrange the stations in a line: flour mixture, egg mixture, panko breadcrumbs, and a clean plate at the end.
5. With one hand, coat shrimp in flour mixture, then dip into egg mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure even coating.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet until it reaches about an inch in depth.
7. Test oil readiness by sprinkling a few breadcrumbs into it. If they sizzle, the oil is ready.
8. Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, for about 90 seconds per side or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Transfer the fried shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
10. Serve the Cajun fried shrimp hot with the prepared Cajun sauce on the side. Enjoy!
