Ingredients

  • buttermilk

Directions

  1. 1
    Place shrimp in buttermilk and place in refrigerator 3 or 4 hours. This isn't necessary but they are better.

    Mix corn meal, flour, creole seasoning (I use Emeril's-the recipe is in Zaar) and salt in a gallon zip lock bag. Shake to mix well.
  3. 3
    Coat shrimp, 6 to 8 at a time in mixture and shake off the excess.
