Chicken Fried Shrimp

Directions

1. 1
   In a medium bowl stir together flour, salt and garlic powder. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, use a fork to stir together buttermilk, egg, baking powder and baking soda until foamy. Holding a shrimp by the tail, coat first in flour then dip in buttermilk mixture, then coat again in flour.
2. 2
   Place shrimp on a plate. Repeat until all shrimp are coated.
3. 3
   Heat oil in a pot or deep fryer to about 350 degrees F. Carefully and quickly add shrimp one at a time to the hot oil. You will need to do this in several batches to keep from over crowding your oil. Fry shrimp until breading is golden brown and shrimp are cooked all the way through, about 2 minutes depending on how hot your oil stays. You can always scoop out one shrimp and cut it in half to see if they are cooked all the way through yet.
4. 4
   Serve with cocktail sauce and French fries or hush puppies and biscuits.
