Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup hot sauce
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup self-rising cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails left on
- Peanut oil, for frying
Directions
Preheat oil to 375 degrees F.
Line a baking tray with paper towels and set aside. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together milk, buttermilk and hot sauce. In a separate shallow baking dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal, pepper and salt. Make sure your shrimp are dry and dredge in the dry mixture first, then wet mixture and finally the dry mixture again. Shake off excess between each dredging.
Deep-fry in batches, but do not overload the fryer. Fry for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towel lined baking tray. Serve warm.

I paid attention to the reviews and cut the salt down. OMG!! The shrimp were absolutely delicious! I don't need to look for another fried shrimp recipe, this is the one for me. I ended up reducing my flour mixture in half as some had suggested and found I was running a little low towards the end. Instead of making more, I just fried some of them without dredging through the spicy milk and skipped the 2nd coating of the dry mix. We enjoyed the shrimp both ways!

I love this recipe I make it all of the time only thing I changed was I use 1 tablespoon of salt instead of 3 and I make my own dipping sauce
