Fried Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

2

Make the Batter

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

3

Coat the Shrimp

Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to ensure a good coating.

4

Breadcrumb Coating

After coating with flour, dip the shrimp into breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.

5

Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

6

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully lower the shrimp into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

7

Drain and Serve

Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
