This is my favorite way to fry shrimp! The recipe comes from The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company Cookbook. The secret ingredient is the Spicy French dressing! Prep time includes chilling time.

The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the flavor was still good.

I've tried many fried shrimp recipes, but this one is by far the best. The shrimp were succulent and juicy, and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe!

A bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise delicious.
