HOW TO FRY SHRIMPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a large deep skillet; heat over medium-high to 370°F. While oil heats, whisk together eggs, milk, and hot sauce in a shallow dish; add shrimp to mixture, and toss to coat. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a separate shallow dish.
• Remove 6 to 8 shrimp from egg mixture, shaking excess off; dredge in flour mixture. Place dredged shrimp in hot oil; fry until coating is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp, bringing oil back to 370°F over medium-high heat before adding each batch of shrimp.
• Serve fried shrimp with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and rémoulade, if desired.

Steps:

• In deep fryer or 4-quart Dutch oven, heat oil (2 to 3 inches) to 350°F.
• In shallow dish, mix flour, salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat eggs slightly with fork or whisk. In third shallow dish, place bread crumbs. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Coat shrimp with flour mixture; dip into eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.
• Fry 4 or 5 shrimp at a time in oil about 1 minute, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
