Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper; mix well. In another shallow dish, beat eggs and milk with a fork until well combined.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Dip shrimp in flour mixture then egg mixture and again in flour mixture, coating completely.

Cook shrimp about 1 minute per side, or until coating is golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately.
