4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn meal, corn starch, thyme, salt, cayenne, paprika and black pepper.
5. Roll the shrimp in the cornmeal mixture, making sure each is well coated. Refrigerate until use.

7. Heat 3 to 4 inches of peanut oil in a large, heavy skillet to a temperature of 365-375°F.
8. Fry the shrimp in small batches for 1-1½ minutes, turning once to color and cook evenly.
