Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

While the oil is heating, add flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Add the shrimp and shake well.

Step 3

Shake off any excess flour and add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Do not crowd them.

Step 4

Cook the shrimp for one minute on the first side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Then use a fork or fish turner to turn over and cook on the other side for another minute or so.

Step 5

Place the shrimp on a paper towel to drain, and repeat the steps with the remaining shrimp.

Step 6

Serve immediately with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.
