Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (halved)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Place the potatoes, cut side down, on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Flip them halfway through cooking for even roasting.

Step 4

While the potatoes roast, prepare the crispy shrimp. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, one with beaten eggs, and one with Panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 6

Dredge each shrimp in the flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and coat it in Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8

To make the barbecue ranch sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are done, sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of chopped parsley on top for garnish.

Step 10

Serve the crispy shrimp and roasted potatoes on a platter with a side of barbecue ranch sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
