Perfectly Crispy Cajun Fried Shrimp: A Flavor Explosion in Every Bite!

Start by patting the shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better during frying.
Marinate the Shrimp:

In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the shrimp to the buttermilk and let them soak for about 15-20 minutes. This marinating step helps tenderize the shrimp and ensures the seasoning sticks to the shrimp.
Prepare the Coating:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. This dry mixture creates the flavorful, crispy crust.
Coat the Shrimp:

Once the shrimp have marinated, remove them from the buttermilk and gently shake off any excess liquid.
Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, pressing gently to coat them evenly on all sides. Set the coated shrimp aside on a plate.
Fry the Shrimp:

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop the shrimp into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The shrimp will curl up as they cook.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve:

Transfer the fried shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the shrimp.
Serve these Cajun fried shrimp on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a tangy remoulade or spicy cocktail sauce.
