GULF COAST FRIED SHRIMP Ingredients 1 pound of fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 egg 1 cup of milk 1 cups of AP flour 1 cup cornmeal 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama) 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper Deep fryer filled with fresh peanut or canola oil Instructions Preheat the deep fryer or heat oil in a large heavy pot to 350 degrees. Peel and devein shrimp, rinsing well. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove most of the water. Whisk together the egg and milk and add shrimp to mixture. Stir together the flour, corn meal, Cajun seasoning, Old Bay, salt and pepper. Dunk the shrimp from the milk mixture to the flour mixture and then to a colander set over a plate or tray. Let sit for a moment, then return the shrimp to the flour/cornmeal mixture a second time and toss around. Place back into the colander and shake well to remove excess flour. Fry in small batches (to avoid overloading the fryer and cooling down the oil too much), for about 3 to 4 minutes per batch, or until golden brown. Shake fryer basket and turn out onto a platter covered with paper towels. Sprinkle with just a bit of additional salt and continue frying the remaining shrimp in batches until all are done.
