Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
Mix the Coating
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Fry the Shrimp
Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
