Indulge in irresistible crispy fried shrimp for the ultimate salty snack satisfaction. Easy and fuss-free.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups canola oil, or as needed
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons chile hot sauce (such as Cholula)
  • 2 pounds large peeled, deveined raw shrimp
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup cornmeal
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions:
  • In a large deep skillet, heat oil to a depth of 2 inches over medium-high heat until it reaches 370 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Combine eggs, milk, and a kick of hot sauce in one dish; mix in shrimp until well coated. In another dish, blend flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne for a crispy coating.
  • Take out 6 to 8 shrimp from the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, coat in the flour mixture, then fry in hot oil until golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes. Transfer the fried shrimp to a baking sheet lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon. Repeat the process with the rest of the shrimp, ensuring the oil temperature reaches 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) before frying each batch.
