Step 2

Place the shrimp in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp of Cajun seasoning, mix, and let sit for 5–7 minutes.
Step 3

Crack the eggs into another bowl, add the milk. Whisk with a whisk until smooth. Combine the flour and starch in a separate container and mix well. Pour the breadcrumbs and 1 tbsp of seasoning into a clean bowl and stir.
Step 4

Pour vegetable oil into the saucepan and heat over medium heat. One by one, coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, dip them all over in the egg-milk mixture, and bread them in the seasoned breadcrumbs. Fry the shrimp in hot oil, stirring with a slotted spoon, for 3–4 minutes until they are covered with a caramel-golden crust. Line a wide plate with 2–3 layers of paper towels, place the fried seafood on it, and let the fat drain.
Step 5

Serve the shrimp popcorn with chili sauce.
