Deep cast-iron skillet (size will vary according to the number of shrimp you’re cooking)
Shrimp, fresh or thawed frozen, peeled and deveined
Salt, black pepper, and garlic salt
Egg wash (1 large egg for each 1/2 pound shrimp)
All-purpose flour (1/2 cup for each 1/2 pound shrimp)
Peanut oil, for frying
1. Sprinkle the shrimp with a little salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste.
2. Roll the shrimp in egg wash, then in flour.
3. Fill the skillet about halfway with oil. Heat to about 350°F over medium heat.
4. Fry the shrimp (not too many at one time) for 1 minute or until they float to the top. Drain quickly on paper towels, and add any other seasoning you like after each batch is fried.
A Note from Miss Kay
This recipe really depends on how many shrimp you have and how many folks you’re feeding. Just use more eggs and more flour and a bigger pan, and you’re good to go!
