   Dredge each shrimp in the seasoned flour mixture, coating it completely.

5. 5

   Dip the coated shrimp into the milk and egg mixture.

6. 6

   Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture again to form a thicker, crispier coating.

7. 7

   Fry the breaded shrimp in hot vegetable oil until golden brown and crispy. The source does not specify the exact frying temperature or time.

8. 8

   To prepare the sauce, mix the Heinz mayonnaise, Heinz ketchup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder until you have a spicy pink sauce.

9. 9

   Serve the crispy shrimp with the sauce for dipping and garnish with finely chopped fresh scallions.

Notes

The source indicates that the shrimp should be dried very well so the breading adheres. It does not specify the frying temperature or time, so monitor them until they are golden brown and crispy.
