I like to use Zatarains fish fry but you could use either flour, cornmeal or mix of both with salt, pepper and any other spices you like. (i think less is more but to each their own).
After defrosting your shrimp, make sure you lay them on paper towels after a few minutes press them lightly surrounded by paper towels to remove any water. This will make them taste better.
Put the batter in a zip lock bag and drop a handful or shrimp and coat the outside but lightly shaking it around. Take out the shrimp and lightly tap them a few times to remove any batter that doesn't stick.
For the oil I like a fairly hot fry, heat the oil up and test it by taking a small pinch of batter - when it hits the oil it should fizzle else it isn't ready.
If you are just starting out drop in one shrimp at a time until one comes out the way you like it. For shrimp you don't focus on cooking the shrimp but the color of the batter. Once it is golden brown your shrimp is done.
When you take them out make sure you put them on a drying rack so the oil can drip off, if this isn't available you can put them on paper towels.
There are many ways to do it but I like a simple recipe. Good luck.

Deep Fry
Rinse shrimp, pat dry, coat with fish fry, then drop in fryer.
Wait until they float, but no longer than 4 minutes.
Are you pan frying them or deep frying?

Use Zatarains shrimp fry , it’s a wet batter, sticks much better

I like flour batter for shrimp. I just use AP flour heavily seasoned with slap ya mama. Put shrimp in egg wash then flour and repeat.
I like to do a double batter for shrimp.
Fry in 375° oil for maybe 2 mins
