For best results, use large shrimp that are easy to butterfly. Ensure the oil is hot (around 350&# 194;°F/175ðC) before frying to prevent the shrimp from absorbing too much oil.

Serve immediately after frying for the crispiest texture. Pair with a lemon wedge or a simple cocktail sauce.

If you cannot find fresh crabmeat, canned lump crabmeat drained well is an acceptable substitute.
