Ingredient
- 250 grams of self-rising flour.
- Kosher salt.
- 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning.
- ½ tsp black pepper.
- Buttermilk; I used 4 cups.
- To fry, I used vegetable oil.
- 1 kg. medium shrimp; peeled.
Instruction
- Mix flour, 1 tablespoon salt, Old Bay seasoning and black pepper in a shallow pan.
- Put the buttermilk in a separate bowl on the small side. Put the oil in a medium-sized cast iron casserole or pan and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, wipe the shrimp and slide them into the flour mixture the first time, then coat them with buttermilk and pour them into the flour mixture the second time.
- After each coat, shake the shrimp quickly to remove the flour or dough.
- Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). The shrimp must be transferred to a tray that has been lined with paper towels using a slit spoon.
- Add more salt, depending on your preference. Like fried shrimp, you can see that you need to increase the heat to keep the oil at a constant temperature between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While you cook the remaining lots, keep the fried shrimp warm in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit
