Ingredients
- 8.8 oz Vegan Shrimp - one bag 8.8 is about 18 vegan shrimp

- In another shall dish pour just egg mixture. Assembly wet, dry mixtures and shrimp in a assemble line fashion.
- First place shrimp in wet mixture and shake off excess.
- Place wet vegan shrimp into ziplock shake until well coated or dredge through cornmeal mixture in bowl until all sides are coated. Shake off excess flour and place on a clean baking sheet. Set aside.
- Pour oil into heavy bottom pan over medium heat until oil is hot.
- Tip - Don't overcrowd the pot. Too many pieces of food in the pan will lower the temperature of the oil. Frying in oil not hot enough results in the food soaking in more oil and becoming greasy.
- Add shrimp to pan in a single layer; making sure to not overcrowd the pan.
- Let the vegan shrimp cook for 1.5 then flip 1 minutes, until crispy and to a golden brown perfection. Can use a spider strainer to easily remove.
