How to Make Crispy Shrimp Bundles With A Smokey Dipping Sauce

  1. **Make the Smoky Chipotle Remoulade:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  2. **Prepare the Potato Mixture:** In a large bowl, combine 2 cups shredded hash browns, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. **Assemble the Bundles:** Gently press a spoonful of the potato mixture around each shrimp (about 15-20 large shrimp).
  4. **Chill:** Arrange the bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. **Fry the Bundles:** Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the shrimp bundles in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. **Drain and Season:** Remove the bundles with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste.
  7. **Serve:** Arrange the crispy shrimp bundles on a platter and serve immediately with the chilled smoky chipotle remoulade.
  8. Enjoy your delicious and impressive creation!
