Method

Fried Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine diced tomatoes, shredded cabbage, shredded lettuce, and sliced onions. Toss lightly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the fried shrimp on top of the salad mixture and drizzle with salsa verde before serving.
