Ingredients
- 454 g shrimp (1 lb), 16-20 count, peeled and cleaned
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) regular milk
- 2 large eggs
- 240 g (2 cups) seasoned bread crumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil until it reaches a temperature between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the shell and veins from the shrimp, and rinse them under cold water. You may choose to butterfly the shrimp by slicing them without cutting all the way through.
- Mix the milk and eggs together to create an egg wash, then submerge the shrimp in this mixture until fully coated. Let them drain briefly afterward.
- Transfer the shrimp from the egg wash into the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing gently to ensure they are entirely covered.
- Cook the shrimp in the hot oil until they turn golden brown, which should take around 2 to 4 minutes depending on your frying technique.
- After frying, place the shrimp on a rack or paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
- Accompany the shrimp with cocktail sauce and tartar sauce when serving.
