Steps

10 mins

1

Set up your station with 3 bowls, one for your flour, one for your egg wash and one for your shrimp. Next, set up your pot for the oil you'll be using to fry and set on the stove.
2

Next, begin shelling and cleaning your shrimp. Once all the shells have been removed and the shrimp has been cleaned, place in a bowl and add your seasoning, mixing it in with the shrimp. Your oil should be at medium-high heat by this time.
3

Now you can do your flour/egg wash one of two ways. You can dip the shrimp in egg wash, then the flour and then to the heated oil or for a crunchier shrimp, do flour, egg wash, then flour again. Repeat process until all shrimp is fried. Usually when they are done, they float to the top about 3-4 minutes of cooking.
4

Place on a paper plate lined with paper towel to catch remaining oil and top with either Parsley or Scallions then serve. I used Parsley this time around.
