Directions for Shrimp Fry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture.

    Cook the French Fries

    While the shrimp is frying, prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions.
