I just take the damp shrimp and toss directly into batter


i do this with Zatarain's seasoned fish fry. less batter is better to me.

Yes the LA Shrimp Fry is more flour/ corn flour. They make a chicken fry too that makes a fine chicken strip when put on a buttermilk soaked chicken tenderloin.

Clean and butterfly large shrimp, leave tails on.

Season shrimp with salt, pepper and hot sauce, let sit for 15 minutes.

Put shrimp in flour, then dip in milk/egg wash with hot sauce in it, then finish in flour/garlic powder/cracker meal. Drop in fryer.

Whatever you end up coating them with brine them for 30 mins or so in 1 cup cold water, 1/4 cup salt and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

Is that brine mix per pound of shrimp?

I have been just doing a egg wash and using safer and seasoned fish fry in the big jar. Dusting with Paul P shrimp magic when it comes out of the oil.

Im doing some tomorrow night and was thinking about trying something different. What’s the difference between that Zats fish fry and the zats/LA shrimp fry?

Assuming rinse off after brine before going into egg wash batter?

I do, my father in law doesn’t. He used to be on the road all over gulf states, picked up the brine idea from some place down by Corpus Christi. Originally I was thinking this had to be a way to sell some funky shrimp but it really makes a difference in taste and texture.

White wheat flour, cornstarch, corn flour, salt and seasoning. For the wet it's milk and hot sauce.

I use to do all kinds of stuff. Now I season them, drop them.in seasoned fish fry and straight to the fryer. I use Zatarains that comes in the gallon jar. Fry them till they float, drain on a wire rack.
