Fried Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk until well combined.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first into the wet mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  6. 6

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully place the coated shrimp in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

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