Paula Deen's Home Cooking

(I made a few changes to the original recipe)
Absolutely delicious sandwiches and so easy to make!

*serves about 4-6

Ingredients:

- 2 lbs, uncooked Jumbo Shrimp (peeled, deveined and butterflied)

- Salt and Freshly ground Black Pepper

- 3 eggs

- 1/4 cup Water

- 1/2 Hot Sauce ( I use Franks Red Hot, Bubba recommends Texas Pete)

- 2 cups Uncle Bubba's Fry Mix  (6 cups self rising flour ( How to Make Self Rising Flour ), 1 cup Cornmeal, 1 t. Salt, 1 t. Black Pepper)

- Peanut Oil or Canola Oil for Frying

BEST TATAR SAUCE EVER RECIPE (Paula Deen's)

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chopped sweet pickles
• 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Lightly sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. 

2. In a small bowl mix the eggs, 1/4 cup water and hot sauce. 

3. Place the fry mix in a shallow dish. 

4. Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture and then into the fry mix. 

Cook's Note: If the fry gets lumpy you can sift it to make smooth.


5. Heat 3 to 4-inches of peanut oil in a Dutch oven, deep-fryer, or sauce pan to 350 degrees F.

Place the shrimp in the pot and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a clean strainer or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels for a minute.

6. Slather French Bread with Tatar Sauce, place a good portion of spicy fried shrimp on the bread, then top with thinly sliced tomato and shredded lettuce. ENJOY

Tips:

• The is great served with sated fresh green beans (salt and peppered), spicy sweet potato fries, or potato chips.
• Careful not to cook the shrimp to long!
• If you don't want to fry the shrimp you can also grill it instead just make to season it with a spicy shrimp run.
