National French Fried Shrimp Day

At National French Fried Shrimp Day, we have a delicious appetizer that will make you salivate! We believe that everyone should try the dish, but be prepared for the fact that you are unlikely to find something tastier after it. Join the holiday!

History

It is not known when the first shrimp appeared on the planet. However, archaeologists in Oklahoma have found the imprint of a marine inhabitant – its approximate age is 360 million years. In early America, the population ate them, they did not have much popularity, but after the Civil War, everything changed. Recipes appeared in cookbooks, especially salads and sea cocktails. As for the French origin of the recipe, there are no reliable data.

Shrimps are marine and freshwater: the largest number lives in the equatorial zone. Perhaps they once appeared in these places! National Day is not intended to tell stories about them (although it is interesting!) – we encourage today to try frying them according to the French recipe, which is famous all over the world!
