Mama's Fried Shrimp

seafood
Our family could put away these as fast as Mom could cook them!  When my nephew, Mike Ricker, was little, he used to get up the next morning and eat any leftovers cold from the fridge.  Mama thought that was the funniest thing.  My friend from Houston, Steve Wannamaker, came to visit Mama and Daddy in Pascagoula.  He was amazed that Mama used two brown grocery bags while cooking fried shrimp.  He talked about those bags and that shrimp for years.

2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
a lot of self-rising flour
salt and black pepper to taste
2 large-size brown paper grocery bags

  1. Peel, devein, and wash shrimp.
  2. Mix in brown paper grocery bag: a lot of self-rising flour with salt and pepper.
  3. Put 2 handfuls of shrimp in a large bowl of water. Dip shrimp up with hands (Make sure it's still dripping!) and drop in the paper bag. Take out of bag with hands and place on a platter (shaking a bit of batter off).
  4. Fry in hot oil (over 1/2 pot full of oil). Don't overcook! They will still brown a bit after you take them out.
  5. Put cooked shrimp in new grocery bag to drain and keep warm while cooking the next batch.
Tips:  Keep swatting away the hands that try to steal the cooked shrimp from the 2nd grocery bag!
