Here's one of my hubby's favorite recipe "Deep Fried Shrimp", he called it Breadcrumbs, since the shrimps were coated with bread crumbs, lol! Whenever we bought medium-size shrimps, he always suggested "Hon breadcrumbs"! The most interesting fact when I cooked this recipe is my hubby counted the shrimps and devided it to us "equally"(?) and he always got more compared to us.

Ingredients:
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp in shells
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Peel shrimp, leaving tails on. Make a shallow cut lengthwise down back of each shrimp; wash out vein.

2. Heat oil (2 to 3 inches) in deep fryer.

3. Mix flour, salt and pepper. Coat shrimp with flour mixture. Dip shrimp into eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.

4. Fry 4 or 5 shrimp at a time in oil about 1 minute, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
