I could probably eat a ton of these blackened fried shrimp. I was already badly addicted to fried shrimp. Then along came these beyond-delicious treats and my addiction somehow got worse.
Place shrimp into a large bowl. Season with two teaspoons of the blackened seasoning and toss well.
Combine the flour and blackened seasoning. Dip the shrimp into the mixture and coat well. Transfer to a plate and place into the freezer for five minutes. Reserve the flour mixture.
Heat 3-4" of oil to 350 F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven.
Whisk together the egg, milk and hot sauce in a pie plate or shallow dish.
Dip the shrimp into the egg mixture and then return to the flour mixture to coat.
Shake off excess flour and fry 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
Serve with your favorite tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
