Ingredients

•             1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
•             1 cup all purpose flour
•             2 tsp garlic, granulated works best
•             1 tsp salt
•             ½ tsp black pepper, I used white pepper, only half the amount
•             2 tsp oregano
•             2 tsp paprika
•             ½ cup whole milk
•             Oil for frying
  
• Instructions
• FIRST STEP:
• Put the milk, ½ tsp salt, oregano, garlic and paprika in a bowl
• Place the shrimp in, and toss to coat.
• Let the shrimp sit in this mix for 10 to 15 minutes
• SECOND STEP:
• In another bowl, place the flour and the remaining salt and the pepper.
• Placing the shrimp one at a time into the flour mix, be sure to coat heavily so you will not see the shrimp under the flour mix
• THIRD STEP:
• Heat the oil in a heavy dutch oven over medium high heat
• Put the shrimp in carefully and fry for three to five minutes each
• Remove the shrimp from the oil and place onto a paper towel covered plate to drain the excess grease off.
• Serve immediately. You could use honey mustard, tartar, any flavor of dipping sauce that you like.
• Enjoy!
