Fried Shrimp
Ingredients
- Peanut or canola oil, for frying
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 2 cups Zatarain's Crispy Southern Seasoned Fish-Fri
- 2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled
- Salt
Instructions
Place oil in a large skillet or electric fryer and heat to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, pour buttermilk and Creole seasoning into a large resealable bag. Seal bag and mix ingredients until combined. Add shrimp and let soak for 20 minutes. Pour seasoned fish-fri into a separate resealable bag. Working in batches, remove shrimp from buttermilk mixture, drain off excess and dredge in fish-fri. Fry until shrimp float to the top and are golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a wire rack or stack of paper towels to drain. Season to taste with salt. Makes 4-6 servings.
