7Take a portion of the mixture and flatten it in your hand.
8Place a butterflied shrimp in the center of the flattened mixture.
9Form the mixture around the shrimp, leaving the tail exposed, to create a ball.
10Prepare a breading station with three separate trays: one with all-purpose flour mixed with seasoning, one with egg wash, and one with cornmeal mix.
11Dredge each shrimp ball in the seasoned flour, ensuring it's fully coated.
12Dip the floured shrimp ball into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.

15Remove the fried shrimp from the oil using tongs and place them on a plate.
