Fried Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Breading the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated. Set aside on a plate.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the French Fries

    Cut potatoes into fries, soak in water for 30 minutes, then drain. Toss with olive oil and salt, then bake or fry until golden.
