Nope. Not Hooter's buffalo shrimp (not that this recipe claims to be...). I have been wanting to try this for a long while. I'm glad I did, but my fiance & I agree that when the "craving" strikes, we will go to the "chain." The ambience is more entertaining for sure (haha!)!!! I have a few "gripes." Here they are: a) my fiance & I like spicy foods (my fiance is the KING of HOT - just eat his pepepr shrimp... lol), & even he couldn't finish what was on his plate; he's got the tummy womblies now..., b) there is WAAAY too much sauce (and the Frank's sauce I used was WAAY too hot, IMHO, so choose wisely & use sparingly!!!); I suggest 1/2ing the amt. of sauce called for & using = parts butter/sauce (this is the standard recipe) & c) BE SURE TO SERVE W/ A COOL DIPPING SAUCE (it helps take the edge off - I served w/ blue cheese dressing); a sprinkling of fresh lemon also helps. I think the submitter's egg/double dip idea is great! It would yield a crispier text., similar to what you'd get @ Hooters. I also think the idea of placing your bag of shrimp (coated w/ flour) in the fridge is a good idea. I placed mine on a foil-lined cookie sheet, which ended up working well for me. My fiance held the fry daddy basket over the sheet, so there was no mess to clean up (we just folded the foil & tossed)! Served w/ fries, this was a suitable sub. for the "real" thing. I guess our innards are not as resistant as Gordon's tho, so this won't be a repeat with us. Thx. for sharing, JIGGYnFL!
