  2. Dredge the shrimp in flour seasoned with a little salt and black pepper. Heat oil (enough for shallow frying) in a large frying pan over medium high heat.
  3. Add the shrimp in batches, frying about 1 – 2 minutes on either side, until the shrimp are just cooked through. Place on absorbent paper.
  4. To assemble the sandwich, split the fry bake (see method below) in half. Place lettuce and tomatoes on bottom half of bake followed by the fried shrimp. Drizzle with the Adams sauces, cover with the top half and enjoy.
  5. For the bake: Place all dry ingredients in a bowl. Rub shortening into the dry ingredients. Add warm water and mix to form soft dough. It may be necessary to add a little more water. Knead for a few minutes to and shape into a smooth ball. Cover with a damp cloth and let dough rise for approximately 1 hour. Punch down dough and knead again for a few minutes. Form into balls and let rise again. Flatten with rolling pin and fry in hot oil. Drain on absorbent paper.
