Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, soak the peeled and deveined shrimp in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.

    Remove shrimp from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture, then fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
