If using frozen shrimp, allow to thaw.
Peel shrimp, and cut almost through lengthwise.

Make batter by sifting dry ingredients together; combine milk with beaten egg, and add liquid to dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
Heat salad oil in skillet until very hot (375°F.
if using thermometer.) Use enough oil to cover shrimp completely.
Dip shrimp in batter and fry until golden brown—5—7 minutes.
