A Cajun Fried Buffalo Ranch Shrimp Fries Recipe Fit for any Tailgating Feast

I hope you are as excited to try these Cajun Fried Buffalo Ranch Shrimp Fries as I am! All you need to make this dish is a hot plate, some oil and potatoes. They make an excellent snack, appetizer or even meal.

Ingredients:

2 large russet potatoes

  • Wash and dry the potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes into wedges, then cut each wedge in half.
  • In a large bowl, combine buttermilk with flour to make a slurry, add salt and pepper to taste. Dip the pieces of potato into this mixture until they are well coated.
  • Place them on paper towels and let them sit for 10 minutes before frying in oil at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown (about 6 minutes).

4 cups vegetable oil for frying, plus 2 tablespoons for coating fries

  • Use a deep fryer (or a Dutch oven, if you have one) and fill it with vegetable oil. Make sure the pot has enough room for the fries to float freely without touching each other or the bottom of the pan.
  • Attach a thermometer to your fryer’s handle so you can monitor its temperature as it heats up.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F—the ideal temperature for frying battered foods like chicken wings or fish sticks. Don’t let your oil get too hot, though; anything above 400°F will result in burnt food that tastes bitter and acrid from excessive smoke point exposure—and nobody wants that!

It’s also important not to overcrowd your fry basket when preparing these buffalo ranch shrimp fries, since they take longer than regular french fries (about 5 minutes per batch).

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder, optional

1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups flour, plus more if needed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon sugar, plus more to taste

1 cup flour

Coating your fries in flour is a great way to get that crispy coating you need, and it’s easy! Just grab a bowl and add all the ingredients together. Mix them together until they form a thick paste, then spread it on top of your fries. Repeat with any other ingredients you want to add (like cheese or jalapeños), then bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

1 tablespoon paprika

Paprika is a spice made from ground dried red pepper pods. It’s used to season food, and it’s a key ingredient in many cuisines.

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon salt: If you use buttermilk that’s not very salty, then 1/2 teaspoon will be enough. You can always add more later if it needs it.

1 teaspoon salt: If your buttermilk is on the salty side and you don’t want to risk oversalting your fries, stick to 1 teaspoon of kosher or sea salt instead of 1 tablespoon (which would be 2 teaspoons).

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Pepper is a spice that adds flavor, heat and texture to dishes. It can also be used to add color and aroma. A little pepper goes a long way, so be careful not to overdo it!

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garlic powder is a spice made from dried garlic. It’s a great way to add flavor to foods, especially if you’re trying to avoid all that tedious mincing and chopping. Garlic powder is especially useful in marinades and rubs because it has no moisture content, so it won’t dilute the dish with liquid as other forms of garlic do.

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

  • If you want to spice up this recipe, add cayenne pepper.
  • If you don’t want to spice up this recipe, don’t add cayenne pepper.

Home fried goodness

To make the fries, you’ll need:

  • 2 pounds small potatoes
  • 1 cup cooking oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
  • 1 heaping tablespoon paprika, divided
  • 3 tablespoons flour, divided (I like to use a 50/50 flour and cornstarch blend)
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk or milk of choice
  • cornstarch for dusting

To finish your fried buffalo ranch shrimp fries recipe.

  • fryer or deep fryer at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You may want to add more oil after each batch if you’re using a wok or skillet instead of a dedicated fryer. I used about 4 cups oil total for this recipe.
  • seasonings: 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 2 teaspoons onion powder; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon black pepper freshly ground.

I love how crispy the outside gets while still remaining soft on the inside. Plus the cayenne pepper gives them a little kick of spice that makes them perfect for any occasion!
