Fried Shrimp
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
