Shrimp Platter Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture and then coat with the flour mixture.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated shrimp in batches, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fries

    While the shrimp are frying, prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions, either baking or frying them.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the fried shrimp on a platter alongside the fries. Add a side of your choice, lemon wedges, and tartar sauce for dipping.
