fried shrimp

Battered seafood dish

Fried shrimp are shrimp coated in batter or breading and deep-fried until golden and crispy.

A staple of American seafood restaurants and Asian cuisines alike, they're typically served with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or sweet chili dip: We ordered a basket of fried shrimp.

The coating provides crunch while keeping the shrimp tender inside.
