1 egg

1 tablespoon water

Seasoned bread crumbs

Tartar sauce (optional)

 

Boil shrimps 15 minutes, remove shell, and remove black line with point of a knife (canned shrimps may be used).  Drain and dry thoroughly.  Beat egg with water.  Dip shrimp in seasoned bread crumbs, then in egg, then in crumbs again.  Fry in deep, hot fat (370 deg.) until brown, about 4 minutes.  Drain on paper towels and serve at once with tartar sauce if desired.

 

*Note:  The same breading recipe works well for oysters or scallops.
