GULF FRIED SHRIMP
It is nothing like Gulf of Mexico seafood! I love everything about cooking seafood but one of my favorites is fried shrimp.

Steps:
- 1. You will need several bowls. One bowl for flour and one for egg and milk. Use a fork and mix egg and milk together. Once the shrimp have been cleaned, place them in the egg/milk mixture and then cover them with flour. Drop in hot oil. I usually make sure the oil is really hot before placing them in it. You must have enough oil to cover the shrimp (deep fry). They should float to the top or when they become a golden brown take them up drain on a paper towel. Salt and pepper to taste.
- 2. Note: I sometimes salt and pepper my egg mixture and flour mixture. This is optional. I leave the tails off too. Some people like the tails on and that's ok but we totally clean the shrimp and split them down the back to devein them. Hope you enjoy!
