Not bad, but some seasoning needs to be added. Old bay or lemon/garlic herbs worked well for me

This turned out great! It turns out lightly breaded and so tender. Not to mention it was super easy. Thank you for sharing!

Finally.....a breading that actually sticks to the shrimp! Very good, very easy. I thought it might be a bit bland, so I added garlic powder, garlic salt and paprika. The paprika made them fry up golden brown. YUMMY!
