Fried Shrimp Ingredients
Method
Fried Shrimp Directions
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
