Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside while you prepare the fries and hushpuppies.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fries

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the frozen French fries according to package instructions until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Hushpuppies

    In a mixing bowl, combine the hushpuppy mix with water and stir until just combined. Heat oil in a separate skillet to 350°F (175°C). Using a spoon, drop small rounds of the hushpuppy batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same oil used for the hushpuppies, fry the seasoned shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the fries, add the hushpuppy, and place the shrimp on top or beside. Enjoy your Lil' Shrimpy!
