Culver’s Butterfly Jumbo Shrimp Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup regular breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, make a shallow slit along the back of each shrimp and butterfly it by gently spreading it open (so it forms a “V” shape). This will help them cook more evenly and get that signature butterfly look when fried.
- Make the Breading:
- In one shallow bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko and regular breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Shrimp:
- Dredge each shrimp in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Dip the flour-coated shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
- Roll the shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs stick.
- Fry the Shrimp:
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the shrimp in batches, not overcrowding the pan, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. They should cook quickly due to their small size.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve the butterfly jumbo shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as cocktail sauce or tartar sauce. You can also serve with a side of fries or a fresh salad.
