Shrimp Basket Recipe

Shrimp Basket Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

2. 2

   Breading the Shrimp

   Dip each shrimp first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated.

3. 3

   Frying the Shrimp

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded shrimp in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Serving

   Serve the fried shrimp with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and your choice of potato and either soup or salad.
