Steps:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon salt, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper.
- Place the buttermilk in a separate shallow bowl.
- Pour the oil into a medium Dutch oven or cast iron skillet and warm over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and dredge them in the flour mixture first, then coat with buttermilk, and dredge in the flour mixture again. Shake the shrimp after each coating to get off any excess flour or batter.
- Working in batches, fry shrimp until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined tray. Season with additional salt, to taste. You may need to increase the heat to keep the oil at a steady temperature between 350 degrees F and 375 degrees F as the shrimp fry.
- Keep the fried shrimp warm in a 200 degree F oven while you fry the remaining batches.

Steps:
- Preheat oil to 350 degrees. Combine ½ cup oil and egg; beat well. Add remaining ingredients except oil for frying and stir until well blended.
- Dip shrimp into batter to coat. Drop shrimp into hot oil and fry for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towel.
Tips:
- To ensure the shrimp are evenly coated and crispy, make sure they are thoroughly dry before dredging them in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to fry the shrimp baskets. The oil should be at least 3 inches deep to allow the baskets to submerge fully.
- Maintain a consistent oil temperature of 350°F (175°C) to achieve perfectly golden and crispy shrimp.
- Avoid overcrowding the pot or fryer with shrimp baskets. This can cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in soggy shrimp.
- Fry the shrimp baskets in batches to ensure they cook evenly and remain crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully remove the shrimp baskets from the oil. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the shrimp baskets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
