Oh wow, I’m going to have to try this! I’m ashamed to say that my guys and I usually only eat fried shrimp when we’re on vacation, yet we all LOVE it. I just hadn’t known what to buy or how to cook them- until now! Thanks!

My husband and I eat this once in a while as a treat. It’s that fattening as we cook it with olive oil and sometimes egg whites to reduce the fat and calories.
