This is a Southern Style fried shrimp. It is moist, delicious and super easy to make. The shrimp turns out crispy on the outside and super tasty. The recipe only takes 15 minutes from beginning to serving time.
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tsp garlic, granulated works best
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper, I used white pepper, only half the amount
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp paprika
- ½ cup whole milk
- Oil for frying
Instructions
FIRST STEP:
Put the milk, ½ tsp salt, oregano, garlic and paprika in a bowl
Place the shrimp in, and toss to coat.
Let the shrimp sit in this mix for 10 to 15 minutes
SECOND STEP:
In another bowl, place the flour and the remaining salt and the pepper.
Placing the shrimp one at a time into the flour mix, be sure to coat heavily so you will not see the shrimp under the flour mix
THIRD STEP:
Heat the oil in a heavy dutch oven over medium high heat
Put the shrimp in carefully and fry for three to five minutes each
Remove the shrimp from the oil and place onto a paper towel covered plate to drain the excess grease off.
Serve immediately. You could use honey mustard, tartar, any flavor of dipping sauce that you like.
Enjoy!
