Delicious & easy!
This is our go-to recipe for fried shrimp. You can control the amount of breading to suit your own tastes. The crunch is so delicious with the shrimp!
Easy and taste great! Nice crunch
Corona virus cancelled two beach trips so I decided to fry my own shrimp. Ree Ree (that is what we call her at my house- my wife considers her part of the family) did not disappoint. I added a little cayenne to the second batch and it was awesome. I impressed the whole family. Thank you Ree Ree!
Very delicious
