Best fried shrimp we've ever had! Outstanding sauce too! Thanks
Please buy American wild caught shrimp!! American shrimping families depend on you..
I have to make that recipe because I love fried anything especially shrimp, fyi I love eating the tails so when I make them I also coat the tails. 😋😋
Dr Eric Berg (on his Youtube channel) just did a video on the worst oils to deep fry with. What oil do you normally use?
Omg, my mouth was watering at the taste test. Definitely trying these asap!
I luv thick women, they know how to cook and eat. Thr skeletons cant cook a damn thing and eat like a bird.
Ms. Toni you are beautiful and awesome presenter. ❤
I love horseradish but honestly, why would anyone want to ruin the taste of a delicious shrimp? I'm going to have a problem when I visit Japan because they dip almost everything in either shoyu, mayo or other sauces.
Why not drain the shrimp on a wire rack? It's more effective and doesn't cause the food to become soggy on one side.
I always put fried food on a wire rack to ensure the food is crispy. Paper towels can cause the food to steam which effects the crispyness.
throw some oysters in there while you're at it 😋
I don't know how to eat shrimp if it's not on skewer.
Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Frying scares me.
Bridget thanks for making each episode so much fun
The destruction of shrimp fields was also caused by huge tropical storms and hurricanes.
Yum❤😋
Love SHRIMP but i buy Gulf coast wild shrimp and Never foreign farm-raised .Wild is better . Farm-raised has too many additives in the food that they receive So buy 🇺🇸 wild.
Why do you keep the tails on?
You are awesome as a host! You do the whole video like with the Poke!
does anyone else eat the tail?
they are good for you
Don't forget Bubba Gump Shrimp!
I loved the educational intro
Skip to 2:10 to miss the bullshit & get to the recipe
Out of work tech person here love your great work have you considered… Wait wrong tab, sorry. SF/
I use sunflower/avocado oil. Its high heat maintenance and healthy
Could you use an AirFryer…? Not sure…just thought I would ask..
I dip my shrimp or fish in corn starch before going in the egg mix and panko. It produces a very nice crust and admirable texture.
While I personally enjoyed the history lesson, I can understand some might not. I would suggest adding chapters on the videos so you can jump right to the part you like or skip a non-cooking segment. Trump supporters especially don't like history and try to forget: the Civil War, Jan 6th and Biden winning.
Looks delicious but do you have one that bake in the oven
That looks tasty. I have a father that loves shrimp, and I'll be in-between this recipe and the Cook's Country coconut shrimp recipe.
I see Ashley, I click! It's that simple.
Shrimp in American grocery stores never have any flavor.
As someone from Indiana, I had no idea we have shrimp farms here

Can you cook with VEGAN Shrimps? I can't eat REAL Shrimps because I'm ostraconophobic 🍤🤮 🍤😆
Refrigerating the breaded shrimp prior to frying is a gamechanger. Thank you for guaranteeing perfectly fried shrimp very time!
Toni’s segments are always my favorite 😊
You need to do a deeper dive into the topic of “vegetable oil”. it’s a HORRIBLE product for your health. There are healthier options.
I'd leave out the cayenne, and use white pepper. Also pass on the horseradish.
Too many steps for us older folks!
I'm drooling over here!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Horseradish and cayenne pepper makes that sauce a double whammy! At least, for those of us with palates not seasoned for that stuff. Thank you kindly.
LOVE FROM PUNE INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 🥰❤😎🙂😍😉🤝❤❤🥰
