Ingredients:
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
In a large bowl, soak the shrimp in buttermilk for 30 minutes to marinate.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Remove the shrimp from the buttermilk and dredge them in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Fry the shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
