Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Make the Batter
In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk mixture, then coat them with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Working in batches, carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
Serve
Toast the Amazing Grains french bread and serve alongside the crispy fried shrimp.
