Unless you have access to Fresh Gulf Shrimp I wouldn't bother. I also wouldn't bother with anything smaller than about a 15 count/pound. But if you do have them:
Always keep them cold until the hit the Canola Oil, Peel, De-vane, butterfly.
Dry them thoroughly. Salt and pepper and maybe a little ground Red Pepper. Keep it simple.
Spritz with a spray bottle containing a thin egg wash/milk solution.
Dredge in Seasoned Flour(salt pepper and red pepper).
I like to pan fry them in 1/2 inch of oil in small batches. Don't crowd the Pan. Fry at 350-360 about 2 min's on side 1, about a min on side 2, and if they are really big(say 5-10 count) stand them on end for about 30 more secs.
Salt while still warm. Drain well(not just on paper Towels)

Also Bonefish Grill has an appetizer called Bang Bang Shrimp that is pretty good. Just fry the shrimp normally and look for a copycat recipes on line.

I did one of the bonefish copy cats for Superbowl this year. They turned out really good, but I had to add more sirachi and chili sauce into the mix to suit my tastes.
Ha, little girl looks excited to have her some shrimp. Try out a bag of seafood breading. The good ones are corn meal ground up almost as fine as flour. Use as is or mix 1/2 w/ flour. Great for frying fish & shrimp.

I work at a local restaurant that makes bang bang shrimp and I know the recipe for the sauce, it is very good.BamaProud said:
