Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the egg and milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the shrimp in the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
