Ingredients for Applebee S Garlic And Peppercorn Fried Shrimp

  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Wheat Flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Granulated Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • Breadcrumbs

How to Make Applebee S Garlic And Peppercorn Fried Shrimp

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. In a separate shallow bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
  4. In a third shallow bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess.
  6. Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. Finally, coat the shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Again, shake off any excess.
  8. 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.
  9. Remove the cooked shrimp from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. 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.
