👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place each shrimp on a flat work surface and butterfly by slicing horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.

Whisk eggs in a bowl; mix in milk.

Place shrimp in milk mixture and soak for 1 hour.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix flour, cornmeal, and seafood seasoning together and pour into a zip-top bag.

Place 5 to 6 shrimp in the bag and shake well.

Drop shrimp in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and opaque in the centers, about 5 minutes.

Remove and place on paper towels to soak out oil.

Repeat with remaining shrimp.
