French Fried Shrimp Recipe Day With Pairme "The Wine for Seafood"

Seafood lovers across the nation rejoice on National French Fried Shrimp Day, December 21. The day is dedicated to, well, fried shrimp. French fried shrimp — no, it’s not French — is a recipe that simply refers to shrimp that has been deep-fried in fat, the same way thin strips of potatoes are deep-fried to make French fries. On National French Fried Shrimp Day, make sure to munch on this simple but crunchy American favorite With the Wine for Seafood.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooke Time: 15 Minutes

Ingredients

  • Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and with tails on) 1 Pound

  • Bread Crumbs 1 1/2 Cups

  • Eggs 2 Large

  • Salt 1/2 Teaspoon

  • Black Pepper 1/2 Teaspoon

  • Flour 1 Cup

  • Vegetable Oil 2 Inches Deep

Recipe

  • Beat the 2 eggs in a bowl until foamy.

  • In a second bowl, mix salt, pepper, and flour.

  • Working in batches, dredge a couple of shrimp in flour and shake them to get rid of excess flour.

  • Immerse the shrimp in the eggs.

  • Immerse the egg-covered shrimp into the breadcrumbs. Ensure both are well-coated.

  • Pour about 2 inches of oil into a heavy pan or pot.

  • Heat the oil to 350°F and, still working in batches, immerse a couple of shrimp into the oil and cook for 1 minute. Remember overcooking will spoil the dish.

  • Using a pair of tongs, carefully remove the shrimp from the hot oil to a paper towel.

  • Serve with the sauce of your choice.
