Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick fries (about 1/4 inch wide).
