How to Make Applebee S Garlic And Peppercorn Fried Shrimp
- Fill your fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot with 2-3 inches of oil and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- In a separate shallow bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
- In a third shallow bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess.
- Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Again, shake off any excess.
- Carefully place the breaded shrimp into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid over-crowding the pot to maintain even cooking temperature.
- Remove the cooked shrimp from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Applebee's-style Garlic Peppercorn Fried Shrimp!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
