### How to Make Fried Shrimps

**1. Prepare the shrimp:**
Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

**2. Set up the breading station:**

* In one bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
* In another bowl, combine flour, cornmeal (or breadcrumbs), paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

**3. Dredge the shrimp:**
Dip each shrimp into the egg wash, then into the flour mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly.

**4. Heat the oil:**
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).

**5. Fry in batches:**
Fry shrimp in small batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

**6. Drain and serve:**
Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and a wedge of lemon.

### Tips for Perfect Fried Shrimp

* ✅ Use large or jumbo shrimp for the best texture.
* ✅ Keep oil at a steady 350°F — too hot and the coating burns, too cool and it gets greasy.
* ✅ For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in buttermilk with spices for 30 minutes before frying.
* ✅ Double-coat if you love extra crunch — dip twice in flour and egg.
