Ingredients:  
1 pound shrimp*
1 large egg
½ cup of milk
2 cups of self rising flour, divided

Directions:
Directions:
Clean, devein and butterfly the shrimp, leaving the very tail tip intact. Preheat the deep fryer to 350º.

Beat the egg and milk together, add ½ cup of the flour and the melted butter; stir well to blend. Mix the remaining flour with the salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and Old Bay. Dip the shrimp into the batter, then hold it up over the bowl, allowing it to drain well. If you go straight into the flour, your flour will get clumpy from the batter. Roll in the seasoned flour. Drop shrimp carefully into hot oil and fry until golden brown, taking care not to overcrowd.
