Fried Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2

Set Up the Breading Station

In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

3

Bread the Shrimp

Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all shrimp.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully place the breaded shrimp in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of side.
