Fried Shrimp
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the mixture and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- 3
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).
- 4
Coat the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk mixture and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the flour-cornmeal mixture until well coated.
- 5
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with fries and your favorite dipping sauce.
