It is nothing like Gulf of Mexico seafood! I love everything about cooking seafood but one of my favorites is fried shrimp. My family has never put any kind of cornmeal in our batter...ugh...that is for fried fish and oysters. During the 50's my parents had a lady cook at their little restuarant in Tuscaloosa and this is the way...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb peeled, deveined shrimp
1-2 c self rising flour (i only use self rising flour in just about everything)
1 egg
4 Tbsp milk (i just put a splash of milk in the egg)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. You will need several bowls. One bowl for flour and one for egg and milk. Use a fork and mix egg and milk together. Once the shrimp have been cleaned, place them in the egg/milk mixture and then cover them with flour. Drop in hot oil. I usually make sure the oil is really hot before placing them in it. You must have enough oil to cover the shrimp (deep fry). They should float to the top or when they become a golden brown take them up drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 2. Note: I sometimes salt and pepper my egg mixture and flour mixture. This is optional. I leave the tails off too. Some people like the tails on and that's ok but we totally clean the shrimp and split them down the back to devein them. Hope you enjoy!

These shrimp were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what happened, but my shrimp turned out really tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

These shrimp were really good, but I think I would have liked them better if they were a little bit spicier.

I've tried a lot of fried shrimp recipes, but this one is by far the best. The shrimp are always crispy and the sauce is always delicious.

I'm not a big fan of fried food, but these shrimp were really good. The batter was light and crispy and the shrimp were cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This was the first time I've ever made fried shrimp, and it turned out amazing! The shrimp were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
