My family enjoyed this recipe very much. The only reason I don't give it a five is because, like other reviewers, I added extra spices for more flavor. However, for those who don't like a lot of spices, I think the original would be good. I believe the problem other reviewers have had with this recipe is the sheer amount of shrimp and other ingredients. I quartered the recipe for my family of four. Others have had a problem with the breading, but I used a frying pan and had no trouble with the breading falling off or sticking. The key to my success was stirring often to keep it from sticking. It's not a recipe you can allow to sit for a long period of time and expect to cook properly. You must stay in the kitchen and keep an eye on it. All in all, I found it very easy and quick to make. Preparation and cooking time was about twenty to thirty minutes total. The biggest critics are small children, and my three and four year old both loved it.

I thought this recipe was very bland, I tried adding other things to spice it up but its just not a keeper. I did some of the shrimp that way then stopped and just deep fried the rest in pancake mix with salt and pepper,then deep fried, still not the best but alot better than this recipe. I am still looking for a good fried shrimp recipe!!

I didn't care for this recipe at all. I halved the recipe and, per other reviewer suggestions, added Old Bay seasoning. The breading on the shrimp was spongy and not at all crispy.

I have to agree with everyone else, it was very bland and had way too much egg for my taste. I downsized the recipe by 1/2. After the first batch came out I added more flour and about 1/4 cup cornmeal to cut down on the egg, I also added cajun seasoning to the batter to add some flavor. They were eaten but I think I'll keep searching for something that suits our tastes better.

This is a great recipe, just like the shrimp in a seafood resturant. What's good about this basic recipe is it's healthy for those with medical problems and you can spice it up to your specifications. 5 stars

Sorry, I have to admit I wasn't impressed with this one either. The breading was too thick for the shrimp, and there was very little flavor.

This was a good recipe and I would make it again, although I mixed the salt & pepper with the egg mixture instead of putting it right on the fish. I also added curry powder to the egg mixture and it was very good.

I agree with most of the reviewers...this is bland. You do need to add seasonings to the flour...I used Emeril's Essence (like another reviewer suggested). Not my favorite fried shrimp recipe...but it was ok. I don't think I will use this one again, but thanks for the post.

I found this recipe to be very bland. It needed something else to spice it up a notch so I added one of Emeril's seasonings for poultry and fish. It tasted much better.

This recipe was very bland. So bland in fact it tasted like bad scrambled eggs. I suggest a lot of seasoning and a dipping sauce!

I had no problems making this recipe. If you only want to make one pound of shrimp then scale the recipe for one serving. This amount would make a good side dish for 4, or appetizers for about 6. We found this recipe bland, so be sure to have cocktail sauce or tarter sauce on hand. I'll keep looking for a good deep fried shrimp recipe to serve to guests.

First, why not just add the salt and pepper to the batter? This falls under my category of 'What Was I Thinking'!

Prepared this for my Birthday Supper. Everyone loved it. Those who start grease fires with this recipe, should stick to the entrees available in your nearest grocery store's frozen food case. Just heat... eat... and YUK.
