Quick Tip: If you don't have a deep fryer handy, you can add frying oil (canola oil, vegetable oil, grapeseed oil)  to a deep pot. Fill it half full. Preheat the oil to a cooking temperature and carefully drop coated Shrimp right into your pot. Let them cook until golden brown and remove with a scoop.

Fried Shrimp pair perfectly with Tartar Sauce or Cocktail Sauce.
