Recipes..Kickin' Fried Shrimp yummy
2 lb medium raw shrimp peeled, deveined tails removed
2 1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 cup plain yellow cornmeal
3 1/2 tsp seafood seasoning divided [i.e. Seafood Magic, Old Bay, Cajun-Creole]
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 large eggs beaten
1 1/2 cup whole buttermilk
oil for frying
Instructions
Season the shrimp with 1/2 tsp seafood seasoning and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the self-rising flour, cornmeal, 3 tsp seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 1/2 cups whole buttermilk.
Toss the seasoned shrimp with 1/3 cup of the seasoned flour-cornmeal breading.
Spread out into a single layer so they won't clump.
Dip each piece in the buttermilk-egg wash.
Toss in the seasoned flour-cornmeal breading shaking off any excess.
Heat 4 inches of oil in a dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan to 350�F. Do not overfill the pot.
Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes [depending on the size of the shrimp] until golden and crispy. Adjust the heat periodically to maintain the temperature of the oil while frying.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy golden shrimp to a paper towel lined pan to drain.
Repeat until all of the shrimp is fried. Sprinkle with additional seasoning after frying, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
