  • Remove shrimp from the milk and drain off excess, then dip into the breading mixture. Dip into the egg mixture, then back into the breading mixture. Put the coated shrimp on a wire rack and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step will help the breading to stick on the shrimp when they are frying.

  • To Serve:
  • Heat enough oil to deep fry in a large pot to 350°. Fry the shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels on a rack.
  • Put the shrimp into a large bowl. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and stir gently to coat. Serve on a bed of mixed greens, 5 shrimp per plate, then sprinkle with chopped green onion
