Loved this but definitely trial and error if you aren’t experienced with frying food. I could not figure out how long to fry it for but once I got it down WOW this was delicious. Crispy and flavorful and amazing with rice.

This was absolutely delicious ? will definitely be making again. Instead of rice we used tacos and it was a winner ! Highly recommend

This was definitely a winner for our family, Instead of rice we used the shrimp in tacos and it was amazing will definitely be making this again. Cant wait to try more of your recipes
