Method
Cooking Instructions
Dredge the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp first into the wet mixture, then dredge it in the flour-cornmeal mixture until fully coated.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
