Fried Shrimp | How to Fry Shrimp

Hello all!
     Fried Shrimp I feel is always a classic and very delicious Shrimp in general can be made so many different ways as well.  Frying it however is a lot easier than you would imagine.  We feel people may not know how to or think it's to difficult with the oil but check out this post below and we bet if you bring this to your next party it will be a hit!

The other thing is if you are worried about frying don't be!  Use good fresh oil and a deep pan.  Have a thermometer with you and don't let the oil get above 350.  Remember when frying foods will cool the oil down so watch for that too.  You don't want to cool or to hot of oil.  However the Copper pan Chef got and uses came with a fryer basket!  It works so well and he continues to fry with it!  These shrimp cooked so fast Chef says he can't make them fast enough before people eat them! Check out the information below for this recipe!

Serves: 1 Bag will serve about 6-8 (Depending how many like shrimp!)
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 2-4 Minutes
Total Time:  About 30 Minutes

Ingredients:
1 Bag Uncooked, Pealed, Deveined Shrimp
2-3 Cups Flour
3 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Milk
2-3 Cups Panko Break Crumbs
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper
Tablespoon Garlic Powder
Tablespoon Paprika
2 Tablespoons grated Parm Cheese
Oil
Lemons
Cocktail Sauce

Directions:
Pick up some uncooked, pealed and deveined shrimp from the store.
If frozen place the shrimp in cold water and let thaw.
While thawing, prep.
In 3 different pans place the following.
Pan 1:  Flour, pinch of salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Paprika. Then mix around
Pan 2: Eggs, Milk.  Then mix around
Pan 3: Panko crumbs, pinch of salt, Pepper, Parm Cheese.  Then mix around.
Drain the shrimp when thawed and pat dry.
Dredge the shrimp in the flour and get a good coat.  You can use the tail to hold, works great.
Move them to the egg batter and again use the tail as a holder to keep your hands clean.
Move them to the Panko mixture and fully coat.
Place on a plate and do this over and over with the other shrimp.
Place the plate in the fridge so the crumbs and adhere to the shrimp.
Heat your oil to 350 Degrees.
Using a basket or by hand slowly place the shrimp in the oil and monitor the heat.  You don't want it above 350 or below 300.
They will only take a few minutes to cook because they are not frozen.  If frozen keep them in longer.
Once they look golden brown remove and let dry on a cooling rack, but not long.
Serve up fast and hot with a lemon and cocktail sauce!

Here they are!

They came out with the perfect crunch and remember shrimp don't take long to cook so only about 2 or 3 minutes in the fryer.  The team made this video and it was our first attempt.  The shrimp came out really well and tasted great.  Chef was nervous because he wasn't sure how they would taste or look but he did very well.  Below will be our video so be sure to see how Chef puts this all together.

We want to thank everyone again for stopping by!  This will make such an amazing appetizer!  Trust us!  Plus you can pick up a nice pan like Chef has to fry with!  He is using the Copper Pans you probably have seen.  It worked out so well and cleaned up even easier!  He has fried a lot since this video and it always does a great job.  Thank you all again and we do hope you try this out.

White Castle Burgers

Hello all,

So we wanted to see if we could top the big bad White Castle Burgers!  We don't have a location near us so we had to buy them in our freezer section.  However Chef will admit he does like them from time to time.  The thin style has a great taste. So we wanted to see if the team could make them on our own!  Chef things he did okay, but he is always hard on himself.  The burgers came out a bit different however had a much better flavor.  They tasted more like a burger than the sliders we bought.  So below is how we tried to remake this classic slider.  We think you would enjoy this fun dinner so give it a try!

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients: 1 Lb Ground Beef (Chef used 90/10) 1 Egg (Not required) 3 Table Spoons Bread Crumbs (Not Required) 1 Chopped Onion Slider Roles (Chef Used King Hawaiian Roles)

Sharp Cheddar Cheese cut into small squares Butter Pinch of Salt 

Pinch of Pepper

Directions:

In a large bowl place the beef, bread crumbs, egg, salt & Pepper

Mix all them together.

Take out a small amount and either use a patter former or your hand to make very small thin patties.

*(Chef says you can also buy pre-made thin patties and cut them if you want.)

Cut the edges to make the square.

Put them in the fridge for a few minutes

Cook the onions in a pan over high heat.

Once the onions are almost done cook the burgers on a flat top.

Each burger will only take a few minutes per side.

Put some putter down and toast the one sides of the roles when the burgers are just about done.

The rolls will only take a few seconds on a hot surface to brown so be careful.

Remove the rolls and place the cooked onions and cheese. To heat the cheese place a small tablespoon of water on the surface and a lit on top. The steam will melt the cheese.

Remove and plate up!

Here they are! 

We did a taste test and we did like ours better, but in honestly we really did.  Our burgers were not as thin as the Store Bought ones but the taste was amazing and we didn't skimp on the onions or cheese either!  There are some short cuts we could have done to make them easier and next time the team might.  Below is the video and how we put this together so be sure to check it out!

We do thank everyone for checking out our video and hope you do try this.  Making your own sliders is fun and isn't hard at all.  You can also do a taste test like we did and compare!  We hope everyone enjoyed this blog post and checks our our other ones we put out there.

Thank you all again and remember
