How to Make Crispy Fried Shrimp

Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Place a paper towel on a large plate and set aside.

In a loaf pan or pie plate, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper.

In another muffin pan, mix the flour with the cornmeal, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.

Add the shrimp to the egg mixture and coat well. A little at a time, add the shrimp to the flour mixture, coating them completely. Place them on a clean plate while you cook the remaining shrimp.

Add the shrimp to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3 minutes, until crispy and golden. Drain on the prepared plate. Continue until all the shrimp are fried.

Sauce:
Combine mayonnaise and chili sauce in a dipping bowl.

Enjoy!
