Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine flour, lemon pepper seasoning, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk together in a second bowl.
Step 3
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Dip each shrimp in egg mixture, then flour mixture to evenly coat. Transfer shrimp to a baking sheet until ready to fry. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to fully cover.
Step 4
Cook shrimp, 8 to 10 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Step 5
Toss shrimp together with hot sauce in a large bowl until each piece is coated.
