Cooking Instructions

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
