      Title: Luby's Fried Shrimp
 Categories: Seafood, Breads
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
    2/3 c  All-purpose flour
  2 1/3 c  Saltines; coarse crushed
      1 c  Buttermilk
      3    Extra-large eggs
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Pepper
     48    Jumbo shrimp; tails on,
           - deveined
           Vegetable oil
 
  In a small bowl, place the flour. In another small bowl,
  place the cracker crumbs. In a medium bowl, whisk together
  the buttermilk, eggs, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  
  Holding the shrimp by the tail, coat each in the flour,
  shaking off any excess. Dip into the buttermilk mixture and
  then into the cracker crumbs, coating evenly and pressing
  the crumbs firmly into the shrimp.
  
  In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat about 2" of oil to
  325ºF/160ºC - 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Fry the shrimp, 8 to 12 at a time, until just cooked through
  and golden brown, about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes. Do not overcook
  or the shrimp will toughen. Drain on paper towels.
  
  Makes 6 servings.
  
  TIP: To crush the crackers, place in a plastic bag, squeeze
  out the air, and close the bag securely. Roll over the bag
  using a rolling pin until the crackers are coarsely crushed.
  
  SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve these crispy shrimp solo or with a
  cocktail sauce, salsa, ketchup, or a squeeze of lemon, as
  you prefer.
