Everyday Fried Shrimp Day, you definitely want to sink your teeth into this incredible, hot as hell, recipe.
Okay, maybe it’s not so hot, after all, we’ve blended our Mad Dog 357 Pure Ghost Hot Sauce with plenty sour cream (sounds good already, right?), but there’s nothing that says you can’t (and shouldn’t) add more. Indeed, we strongly suggest an extra drizzle of Mad Dog 357 Pure Ghost Hot Sauce.
This recipe serves 2 easily, but you can double or triple it if you have a lot of hungry-for-fried-shrimp folks hanging about.
