Fried Jumbo Shrimp Directions

Prepare the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine the jumbo shrimp with salt and black pepper. Allow to marinate for about 15 minutes.

Make the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.

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

Fry the Shrimp
Dip each marinated shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
