Sauce

  2. Now it's time to bread the shrimp! First coat each with the breading mixture. 
  3. Dip breaded shrimp into the egg and milk mixture, and then back into the breading. 
  4. Arrange the coated shrimp on a plate and pop them into the fridge (for at least 20 minutes) to have it stick (helps with the frying). 
Frying
  1. Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit) using whatever amount your fryer requires.
  2. When oil is hot, fry shrimp 2 to 3 minutes (or until golden brown). 
  3. Drain on rack or paper towels.
  4. When all the shrimp have been fried (and drained) drop the shrimp into a large bowl. 
  5. Spoon about ¼ cup of sauce over shrimp and stir gently to coat.
  6. Continue until the shrimp are coated in the amount of sauce you desire.
