Fried Shrimp Covered with Oatmeal Recipe

Hello hungries!

I'm back with a new recipe for you guys. What do you think about fried shrimp with oatmeal? Sound strange, right! The idea to substitute the traditional panco breadcrumbs with white oats actually came from my sister. So, thank you sis!



This is the first time I'm trying this but I can assure you it works... it work wonderful! The fried shrimps came out lovely they were crunchy and vary savoury! The taste was unique it felt so exotic and just full of yumminess thanks to the spices that I used.



I served them with Sweet Chilli Sauce if you want to know the recipe click HERE.

I hope this recipe was helpful and you give this a try!
