I came across this recipe from Mr. Food and made it last night. It was very easy but most of all, the best fried shrimp I've eaten. So, I thought I would share and post the recipe. I don't know how to post a picture or I would have.

PERFECT FRIED SHRIMP..(SIMPLE AND EASY!)

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on

In a shallow dish, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper; mix well. In another shallow dish, beat eggs and milk with a fork until well combined.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Dip shrimp in flour mixture then egg mixture and again in flour mixture, coating completely.

Cook shrimp about 1 minute per side, or until coating is golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately.

Serve with cocktail or tartar sauce..or any other dipping sauce.

Yes, Mr. Food was on tv a number of years ago..not sure what station though. I believe he's since passed away, but his recipes, cookbooks and recipe website are still available for his easy and delicious recipes.

Yum Lil Bit!! We eat a lot of shrimp up here. Everyone can never get enough of it. This is a real keeper for me. I rarely fry them like this, so I'm real anxious to try yours. Have shrimps in the freezer and will make this this coming week. Thanks for posting it!!
