Fried Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, frying in small batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Cook the French Fries

    While the shrimp are frying, cook the french fries according to package instructions or fry them in the same oil until crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried shrimp alongside the fries in a basket.
