How To Make butterflied fried shrimp with caper hollandaise

  • Step 1
    Place the peeled, deveined, and butterflied shrimp in the buttermilk. Let sit while you make the hollandaise.
  • Step 2
    Place the yolk, lemon juice, garlic, and half a stick of butter in a saucepan. Cut the other half of the butter into pieces. Whisk over medium-low heat until the butter is melted, and then continue to whisk and add the rest of the butter 1 piece at a time, letting each melt until the sauce becomes yellow and thick. Stir in the caper. Taste and adjust for salt. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Step 3
    Place the flour on one plate and add some salt. Place the Panko on another plate and add the paprika
  • Step 4
    Place a frying pan on the stove and add the oil. Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk and dredge in the flour, shake off excess, then press into the Panko. Set aside on a plate until you finish with all the shrimp.
  • Step 5
    Once the oil is hot, fry the shrimp until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes each side.
  • Step 6
    Serve the shrimp with the hollandaise garnished with chives.
