Fried Shrimp

Recipe #264382 | 40 min | 30 min prep | SERVES 2 -3 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef #580861 Nesbitt

These are the best fried shrimp I have ever had. I don't remember where the recipe came from but I have remembered it for years. I don't have it written down anywhere. If you like them crispy, yet tender, this is the way to do them. I'm not sure of the weight of the evaporated milk, just took a guess, but it is the small one.
