- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 30 frozen medium shrimp, thawed, shelled, and deveined

- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Dip each shrimp in egg mixture, then dredge in flour mixture to evenly coat. Transfer shrimp to a baking sheet until ready to fry. Sprinkle additional flour as needed to fully cover.
- Cook shrimp, 8 to 10 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Toss shrimp with hot sauce in a large bowl until completely coated.
