Looking for best fried shrimp

Anonymous
In DC or MD. I used to love the ones at Hitching Post, but haven't been since it changed hands.

Regular breading, not tempura.

And yes, I realize every chain restaurant has this, and it always sucks! And I don't feel like making it myself.

Sorry but the best ones are really made by you because the most important thing about fried shrimp is to eat them fresh from the fryer. Even a little wait time/coldness means decreased quality. This is one of my guilty pleasures and not really hard to make at home with American Gulf shrimp (16-20s are best), panko and Old Bay, and a Fry Daddy. If you have room in the fridge you can save the oil for a future (frying) use.
