Notes

  • Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning so flour adheres evenly and coating stays crisp.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C–180°C) to prevent greasy results.
  • Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding and temperature drops.
  • Tap off excess flour after dredging to prevent clumpy patches.
  • Drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate in a single layer to keep crust crisp.
