Instructions

Rinse shrimp under cold running water and pat dry.
On a shallow plate, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir until evenly dispersed.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, and hot sauce. Whisk until well blended and frothy.
In a deep, wide skillet over medium heat, heat about 3 inches deep of oil.
Working in batches, lightly dredge shrimps in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Dip in the egg mixture and then dredge again in flour mixture, patting down flour onto shrimp.
Gently add into hot oil one by one (to prevent clumping) and deep-fry, turning as needed, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
With a slotted spoon, remove from pan and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Season with chili powder and drizzle with lime juice, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the shrimps dry so the breading will adhere well.
