- How about, is anybody hungry for,
0:06
let me get the name straight,
0:08
air fryer grits-crusted fried shrimp.
0:15
I wanted to get the name perfectly right,
0:17
so if you wanted to look it up, you could find it.
0:21
So we've got some beautiful large shrimp.
0:24
We have got a cup of buttermilk
0:29
and those of you that fry things at home,
0:34
which fried foods taste so good,
0:38
but they make a big mess
0:42
and grease gets all over the kitchen.
0:45
Alright, now I've got a couple buttermilk,
0:47
about a teaspoon of a spicy mustard,
0:53
about a teaspoon of my hot sauce.
1:00
And I'm just gonna mix all this together real good.
1:08
And we are going to use this to wet our shrimp with.
1:14
And in this bowl, we are gonna add our flour and our grits.
1:23
Have y'all ever had fried grit cakes? Oh, it's so good.
1:29
All right, so I'm just going to toss that.
1:34
Now, the recipe tells you to dip in the buttermilk
1:47
and then into the grit and flour mixture,
1:50
but I like to kind of dust mine with flour.
1:55
Just makes a little, it just makes a crust stick on it good.
2:01
All right, so there we go.
2:08
Now, if you're afraid of having too much crust,
2:11
just go bonk, bonk, instead of bonk, bonk, bonk.
2:21
And you definitely wanna use a shrimp with tails on.
2:34
And you wanna let the excess drip off.
2:43
And it's probably gonna take about 10 minutes
2:52
And it's not gonna be nearly the mess.
2:58
The mess is gonna be on my counter.
3:00
But I can wipe that up, I can clean that up real quick.
3:05
There we go! Looking good.
3:11
That grit is gonna give 'em a little
3:17
extra bite on the crust.
3:21
I don't wanna pack these up, y'all, in the air fryer.
3:26
So I just wanna make sure I do a single layer
3:30
and I'm gonna spray them
3:32
and that will help them get real crusty
3:36
and they'll probably take about 10 minutes.
3:39
I'm about empty in this can.
3:42
It'll take about 10 minutes.
3:46
So I'm gonna wanna turn these when they're halfway done.
3:54
And if you're using a liner, you wanna make sure
3:58
that you put a shrimp in each corner
4:02
because that paper can break away
4:06
and get sucked up in the top, oops,
4:08
and you'll have a fire. So be careful.
4:13
And like I said, you don't wanna pile these up.
4:15
You want want them to have plenty of room
4:22
for them to get nice and brown all over.
4:38
It was a perfect number that I did.
4:41
So you can see how they are not crammed in there together.
4:52
And right now, it's on five minutes.
4:55
So I'm gonna leave it there
4:57
and when the bell dings, I'll flip 'em over
4:59
and spray the other side for five more minutes.
5:05
They're looking good.
5:11
All right, because the air fryer
5:17
cooks a little faster in the front,
5:20
I'm just moving my paper around
5:25
and I'll put the ones that look like they need cooking more.
5:32
I'll get them up front.
5:36
All right, another quick spray on the other side.
5:41
And I turned my air fryer up to 430, y'all,
5:48
because I have found out over the years
5:52
since I first came out with this machine
5:55
that 430 works real good for something that you want fried.
6:00
All right, they're ready.
6:01
I'm just going to sprinkle 'em with a little salt.
6:07
Oops. Where is my? - Right here.
6:09
- Where'd I put it? Thank you.
6:12
The aluminum thing laying right there,
6:15
that would've bit me if it had been a snake.
6:19
Alright, so you oh, oh, you can just cook 'em
6:26
to the brownness that you like.
6:30
And my aunt Peggy, her taste are changing so quickly on me.
6:40
About the only thing she'll eat now is shrimp or crab.
6:44
So I'm taking these for her dinner
6:48
and hopefully she will receive it well tonight. Who knows?
6:56
I said, you change so quickly on me,
6:58
I'm gonna let that one brown another little second.
7:04
And you know what? I'm gonna need one more
7:06
to keep it balanced, or my paper will fly up and burn.
7:18
And she likes her cocktail sauce and she likes her lemon.
7:27
And you know what? If she likes those tonight,
7:30
she'll eat every one of those.
7:34
She'll eat every one of 'em.
7:36
- [Crew Member] That's good.
7:38
