Fried Shrimp

Tonight, we had fried shrimp. My son had been into some mischief that day and had been fussed at by one parent or the other. The boy just needed to be busy - to do something with his hands. So I employed him as my shrimp peeler. He was a great help! He loved grabbing the slippery little legs, and pulling off the tails. I checked each one to be sure all the peel was removed before seasoning. He had done a great job, and was rather pleased with himself. Next, I put him to work dunking the shrimp in the egg mixture, while I dredged them in flour and dropped them in the frying pan. The combine effort was magnificent - the best fried shrimp I've made to date!
