  • Thaw the shrimp ahead of time, let them drain well, then pat them dry on a linen towel. Put them in a bowl, drizzle with lemon juice, and let sit for ten minutes. Note that you don't need to peel the shrimp. Roll each shrimp in flour on all sides, then dip it in beaten egg and fry in hot oil in a skillet for about five minutes, until the shrimp turn brown. When they're done, set them back on a paper towel to blot the excess oil. A word of warning: this dish goes fast — the shrimp vanish like sunflower seeds. In my view, 400 grams is a portion for two people at most. If you need to feed guests who show up with beer, count on about 200 grams per person and you won't go wrong.
