A delightful recipe for crispy, golden shrimp that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature for optimal frying.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
Ensure the egg and milk are at room temperature for a smoother mixture.
Gradually add the flour, seasoning salt, and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Sift the flour before adding to avoid lumps in the batter.
Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Hold the shrimp by the tail for easy dipping and less mess.
Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil and fry for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown.
Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Pat the shrimp gently with another paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve the shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a lemon wedge for added flavor and presentation.
