Method
Preparing the Shrimp
- 1
Coat the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated shrimp in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
