Easiest Crispy Shrimp

Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat with 1/4 inch of oil.

Toss the shrimp with the flour and salt. Coat well, tossing the shrimp a few times so that it absorbs as much of the flour as possible.

Test the oil. Place one shrimp in the oil—it should sizzle loudly. If not, quickly remove the shrimp and wait a few more minutes until the oil is very hot.

When the oil is not, place the shrimp in the pan in one layer; you may need to cook the shrimp in batches. Leave the shrimp alone for 2-3 minutes until the first side is golden and crispy and the shrimp have started to turn pink around the edges.

Flip the shrimp using tongs and continue to cook on the second side until crispy all over and cooked through.

Serve any way you like. These are great with Asian accompaniments, or just tartar sauce and a baked potato. You can’t go wrong!
