Fried Shrimp by The Cajun Ninja

I really like the ratios on this one. The cook time and temperature make for a great crispy yet tender bite. Give it a try!

FRIED SHRIMP 2 lbs Fresh Shrimp 1 Gallon of Cooking Oil 2 Tablespoon of Mustard 2 Tablespoon of Hot Sauce 2 Eggs 2 Cups of Flour 2 Tablespoons of Cajun Seasoning 1/2 Tablespoon of Salt 1/2 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder Peel and De-vein roughly 2 pounds of fresh shrimp. Heat roughly a gallon of oil on a medium/low heat. You’ll eventually want to reach 425°. Monitor the heat every so often with a thermometer. While the oil is heating up, add the mustard and hot sauce to the shrimp. Mix thoroughly and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. When the oil gets to around 425°, you can put your heat to a low setting. Maintain until ready to fry. With about 10 minutes left on the shrimp, scramble two eggs. Add the eggs to the shrimp. Mix together the flour, cajun seasoning, salt, and garlic powder. When you know your oil is around 425° and you are ready to fry, that is when you mix your shrimp in with your seasoned flour. Add a few shrimp at a time to the flour, so that some of the excess marinade can drip off. Immediately after battering the shrimp, that is when you want to drop them in the fryer. Quickness is optimal for a nice crispy texture. Fry the shrimp for two minutes, and then remove. Let the excess oil drip, then pour the shrimp into a pan that’s layered with paper towels. Season with a little bit of salt if you like, but it’s completely optional. Let them cool a bit and enjoy!

[@scubasteve06]

Not all recipes on the internet are written by someone who knows what they are doing, but this one is the real deal. I followed it as close as I could and the shrimp were the best I've ever tasted. So much flavor that I didn't even need a dipping sauce. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheCajunNinja]

I genuinely appreciate this. 👊🏻

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

Those shrimps looks fantastic...

[@tpressley817]

I’m not lying this is the best recipe I’ve ever used for frying shrimp 🍤 normally my batter comes off this was perfect and the seasoning 😱 on point

[@TheCajunNinja]

Heck yea!

[@bryanball8909]

Fried shrimp is my personal favorite. Definitely would have picked up the one that fell. I love mine with cocktail sauce.

[@AeonFlux504]

This is how I fry my seafood with mustard, you don't taste it at all! Yummy! Love your videos and channel so much! Pi-yah!!!!

[@felderrob]

I got a laser temperature and never thought to use it to check temperature of pot. Thanks for the tip.

[@danidig318]

So good! I fry alot of things with mustard incorporated in the batter. It must be a Louisiana thing!😋😋😋😋

[@dimplez27davis66]

It has to be a Louisiana thing because I can't do it without my mustard! PERIOD 😂😂 That flavor though 😉

[@kimabell2499]

Yes it is. I live in Virginia and they just don't understand that this how it goes!😂😂😂

[@65MK]

It works in Texas to.

[@mike_adams]

Don’t forget .. this same recipe/technique for redfish and speckle trout!

[@miked9918]

It's not a Lafayette thing traditionally but I think it's caught on

[@xgtmg]

I made catfish nuggets with your technique and recipe and man were they good. Everyone liked them. This is now my go to recipe for fish. Going to try oysters when I can get to the river and harvest a bushel.

[@TheCajunNinja]

That’s friggen awesome man!

[@dannyjarrell9625]

Been gone from Tx. For 30yrs. Saw this vid and it brought back memories of the gulf shrimp yummm. Back then trucks would be off freeway selling shrimp. Always pulled over and get some.😓

[@ginabryant6330]

First time you’ve popped up for me... I was sold when you lifted the shrimp from the grease omg!!!

[@TheCajunNinja]

Lol right on!

[@Durchii]

I am having a really shitty day and the dramatic fallen shrimp segment actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks. I'm making these skrimpy bad boys in a few minutes for a midnight snack. 🦐

[@yaniceh]

Im from NY & I fry my chicken with mustard and a tad bit of corn starch in the flour too. Extra crispy. Sweet Jesus. Mustard makes it all better

[@naturallyme6937]

I had to subscribe because I’m from New Orleans. So I gotta support and the food looks good. And I like the animations lol

[@TheCajunNinja]

Thanks!

[@terrynaquin6037]

Every time we fry seafood we add onions in the batter. Makes great onion rings.

[@tjeezy2875]

~INTERESTING...Never done that. Will try~

[@Contrabandtv-u6m]

You got my subscribe when you threw the shrimp back in the grease this ain't no restaurant 😂😂 I was dying great video

[@micheline75018]

OMG! It's been a while for me since I watched your channel! Great recipe, as usual. Can't wait to try it!! :-) Thank you!

[@andrewmccoy2712]

I did this tonight and used Sweet Baby Rays instead of Mustard. Best Shrimp evrr in my life.

[@youdontsay3379]

Will definitely try it with sweet baby rays. Thanx for the tip sir 👍👍👌👌😍😍

[@mzm5991]

Great video, great technique and humorous too boot; fantastic! One note, please don’t take offense: breading is a dry preparation / batter is a wet preparation. Dry seasoned flour = breading.

[@devintroxler9529]

Been waiting for this one!! Thanks! Going to fry some up this weekend!!

[@lavonneskitchen968]

[@ryeckley7267]

Good recipe, shrimp cook so fast and with the high heat you was able to slightly crowd the basket. Nice

[@TheCajunNinja]

For sure! 😊👊🏻

[@pickledtink3775]

@Cajun Ninja The next time that you fry up some shrimp, try using Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour instead of APF. It gives your shrimp just a small hint of sweetness. My Cajun Daddy and his parents, as well as all of the other family members have used the Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour. Now we don't use your mustard and hot sauce marinade, but we do use all of the other spices that you used, as well as a little bit of onion powder. Mmmmmm..... you've got me thinking about fried shrimp for dinner tonight!

[@pacluv]

OMG that shrimp looks soooooo good 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋. Wish I was there to sample it, to see if it’s really as good as you say it is. And I’m glad that you saved that poor shrimp 🍤 that got away from you, because I was hoping that you didn’t leave him there to die. Because I would have done the same thing that you did. That oil was hot enough to kill any germs. Good for you chef 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. And you said at a restaurant they would have thrown it away. We don’t know what they do behind those closed doors 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cortney334]

Mannnn them shrimp look so good 🤤🤤🤤 next time I fry shrimp I'm trying this recipe.

[@Pammy_Yolo]

Awe boy you making my mouth water!

[@seeingimages]

That batch of shrimp looks DELICIOUS!!!

[@ramblinman7153]

These are great, but would like them to be spicy. What could I add to do that?

[@Paducah-m4z]

Ray Mack sent me. Gotta try these!

[@abbymcleod8874]

Awesome recipe but where did you get the shaker bowl?

[@Dirge861]

Dumb question but I need to know what kind of gadget you used at the 3:30 mark? I want to buy one like right now.

[@tiffanyadams879]

[@punjabivirsa5348]

Do you have any recipe for grilled shrimp? My husband and eldest daughter LOVE shrimp but they seem to truly adore grilled shrimp

[@reneejohnson9256]

I use to like fried shrimp, but now I also love my shrimp grilled! Lemon+ garlic shrimp on a stick. So delicious!!!

[@TheCajunNinja]

[@robertcraigo2621]

I thought the mustard/hot sauce was weird. Boy was I wrong. I loved this recipe so much. I wonder how it would turn out with chicken tenders? I'll let y'all know.

[@derochehope]

Use mustard/ hot sauce with fish too and use corn flour or corn meal to fry. Zatarains fish fry is good.
