Ingredients

4 servings

•

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
•

3 large eggs, or more as needed
•

2 cups milk, or more as needed
•

peanut oil for frying

•

2 cups all-purpose flour
•

2 cups yellow cornmeal

½ cup seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

Instructions

Place each shrimp on a flat work surface and butterfly by slicing horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.
Whisk eggs in a bowl; mix in milk. Place shrimp in milk mixture and soak for 1 hour.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, cornmeal, and seafood seasoning together and pour into a zip-top bag. Place 5 to 6 shrimp in the bag and shake well.
Drop shrimp in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and opaque in the centers, about 5 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to soak out oil. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
