Jumbo Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with buttermilk, and one with cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal. Shake off any excess.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
