Since we built our outdoor kitchen off of the pool area last summer, we have been doing most of our deep frying outside. Best idea ever! All of the mess and the smell of the grease from frying is outside instead of in my kitchen.
What’s the Best Pan for Deep Frying?
We have a propane burner – like for a turkey fryer and use our Dutch Oven for deep frying. The cast iron is perfect for deep frying, maintaining the oil temperature perfectly. A thermometer is super handy to make sure your oil stays at the proper temperature.
How Long Do You Fry Shrimp?
Shrimp cook really quickly. The oil temperature should be 350-375° and the shrimp will cook in 1-2 minutes.
What Kind of Oil is Best for Fried Shrimp?
Peanut Oil is the best. It has a high smoke point and provides great flavor for deep frying.
Vegetable Oil also works well. It is less expensive and also has a good smoke point for deep frying.
Growing up in the family catfish restaurant, I truly learned to appreciate everything deep fried! Some of my favorites are Chicken Fried Steak Bites with Country Gravy, Fried Pickles, and Fried Apple Hand Pies just to name a few.
