Fried Shrimp or Oysters Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Breading

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

2. Prepare the Wet Mixture

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

3. Coat the Seafood

Dip the shrimp or oysters into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the breading mixture until well coated. Set aside on a plate.

4. Heat the Oil

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

5. Fry the Seafood

Carefully add the breaded shrimp or oysters in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
