Crispy Salt and Pepper Shrimp

Swap chili powder for crushed red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.

FAQ

Q: Can I bake instead of deep-fry?
A: Yes! Coat shrimp in batter and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.

Q: Can I prep shrimp in advance?
A: Marinate in the fridge up to 2 hours. Coat and fry just before serving for best texture.
