½ C. Flour

Dip each shrimp in the egg wash, let excess drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the breadcrumbs,pressing to adhere the breadcrumbs.
When oil is 375°f, fry the shrimp ) for about 1½ minutes or until deep golden, and cooked through. Do not fry more than six shrimp at a time, or the temperature will go down and oil will absorb into shrimp. Drain on paper towels, and serve with orange-chipotle sauce. (recipe below) Enjoy!
