Directions
1. Heat the Oil
Pour canola oil into a deep skillet until about 2 inches deep. Heat over medium-high to 370°F (188°C).
2. Prep the Breading Station
In one shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and hot sauce. Add shrimp to coat.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
3. Fry the Shrimp
Remove 6–8 shrimp from the egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge in flour mixture, then place in hot oil.
Fry for about 2 minutes until golden and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined tray.
Repeat in batches, allowing oil to return to temperature between each.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your choice of cocktail sauce or rémoulade.
