Fried Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in one; whisk together eggs and milk in the second; and place bread crumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully place shrimp in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove shrimp from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with fries and your choice of beverage.
