Notes

When frying the shrimp use a deep fry thermometer to be sure you are keeping the oil at 375 degrees F.

Don’t overcrowd the pot, fry the shrimp in batches.

Storing Leftovers -These are best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 1 day. You can reheat them in a 350 degree oven on a greased baking sheet until warmed through. But be aware that reheating the shrimp can overcook them and make them tough and chewy.
