Best Shrimps Ever!

Submitted by sweetiris

""Easy recipe and can be made early in the day and warmed up just before serving. It usually tastes better and allows the Old Bay Seasoning to soak through the shrimps. Count on never having any left-overs when making this recipe. When making a fish dinner - this recipe is the first to go. Has always been enjoyed by everyone that has eaten at my home... Enjoy!""

I was in the mood for fried shrimp so I decided to give these a try. I only used one cup of flour and followed the rest of the recipe as written. These were good but spicy. Next time I would cut back on the Old Bay just a bit.
