1 quart peanut oil
1 pound all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sea salt
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 eggs
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
2 pounds shrimp, tails on, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dill relish
2 teaspoons dried dillweed

Repeat with remaining shrimp, egg mixture and seasoned flour. Serve with Tartar Sauce.
