Buffalo Shrimp Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Pre wash the shrimp well.
• Dry thoroughly.
• Place in a medium bowl and add buffalo sauce.
• Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Place margarine in a frying pan and let melt until it starts bubbling.
• Place shrimp in the butter along with garlic.
• Let cook until almost done.
• Then add flour and stir quickly to insure no lumps form.
• Let shrimp finish cooking.
• You may add a bit more sauce if needed. Serve next to celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing.

Steps:

• In a medium sized pot heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees. In a shallow dish, toss shrimp in 2 cups of flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Shake off the excess flour and fry until golden, about 3 minutes While the shrimp are frying, combine soft butter and hot sauce in a large bowl. Toss the shrimp in the butter and hot sauce until they are well coated.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an oven-safe 8x8- or 9x9-inch baking dish or pie dish lightly with cooking spray (or use a Misto®).
• Combine cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and vinegar in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of Mexican cheese and mix until smooth. Mix in shrimp. Spread into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining Mexican cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine 5 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 cup of the pepper sauce and egg.
• Add garlic salt to bread crumbs.
• Dip shrimp in egg batter, then in bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in skillet, add shrimp and cook about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until just cooked through.
• Combine the 4 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce and the remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter and warm over low heat.
• Place shrimp on serving platter and serve hot sauce and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 2. Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake until half cooked, about 6 minutes. Let cool and cut each slice into thirds. Reserve the baking sheet; don't drain the fat. 3. Stretch one third of a bacon slice tightly around the center of each shrimp, and secure with a toothpick. 4. Arrange the shrimp on the reserved baking sheet and bake until just cooked through and the bacon is crispy, about 6 minutes more. 5. Immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl and gently toss with the hot sauce. To serve, pour the blue cheese dressing in a small serving bowl and place in the center of a serving platter, surrounded by the shrimp, celery sticks, and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Run a sharp knife along each shrimp's back and open slightly. Place shrimp in a large bowl of cold water.
• Whisk eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Drain shrimp and add to egg mixture; mix with your hands to combine and coat.
• Mix flour, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and cornstarch together in a large bowl. Dredge shrimp, a few at a time, in flour until well-coated, including the opening in the backs. Place battered shrimp on baking sheets.
• Chill shrimp until batter is set, about 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan.
• Fry shrimp, in batches, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Test one to make sure shrimp is cooked through. Transfer to paper towel-lined bowl to drain.
• Place buttery spread, cayenne pepper sauce, and garlic powder in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until sauce is combined; stir in corn syrup.
• Divide shrimp among serving bowls. Stir in sauce until shrimp are completely covered.

Steps:

• TO FREEZE: Combine ingredients from oil through hot sauce (if using) to make marinade. Place shrimp in labeled freezer bag or container. Pour marinade over shrimp, seal, and freeze.
• TO COOK: Thaw in refrigerator. You have several options for cooking: skewer shrimp and broil or grill; or simply panfry for a few minutes. You only need to heat these up, they are already cooked. Discard extra marinade.
• OPTIONS: Use as an appy with ranch dip, add these to pasta (with blue cheese crumbles, YUM!), serve over rice, turn into tacos, endless really!

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, Creole-style seasoning, garlic powder, ground cayenne pepper, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Seal the bag and shake a few times to combine the ingredients well.
• Rinse the shrimp under cold water and place them in the plastic bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake to coat all of the shrimp well with the flour mixture.
• Place the coated shrimp on a cookie sheet and place in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. Save remaining flour mixture in the bag.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together garlic, butter hot sauce and cayenne pepper; set aside. In a pot, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove shrimp from refrigerator and shake a second time in flour mixture.
• Place the shrimp in hot oil and fry until pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately coat with buffalo sauce.
