Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crispiness)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Dip each shrimp first in the flour mixture, then into the egg, followed by coating them with breadcrumbs. Make sure each shrimp is well coated for a crispy finish.
- Arrange the coated shrimp on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil to promote even browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through. For extra crispiness, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end.
- Once finished, remove the shrimp from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the shrimp and toss gently until they are well coated.
- Serve immediately with blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side.
