Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound large shrimp
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Peel and devein the shrimp. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine the flour, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, black pepper and salt in medium-size bowl. Heat oil in deep fryer. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Fry them quickly over high heat until brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Serving suggestion: Serve with tartar sauce, fresh lemon and Tabasco. Note: For shrimp po'boy sandwiches, leave shrimp whole or halved when frying. Slice French sandwich-sized baguettes in half, pull out some of the bread, brush with olive oil and heat under the broiler until the halves are crisp and brown. Stuff with shrimp, slivered iceberg lettuce and sliced tomatoes, and dress with Spicy Tartar Sauce or remoulade sauce. Makes 8 hors d'oeuvre servings.
