• Put about 1/3 of the Cream of Rice (use a little if not enough to coat all the shrimp) in a medium-sized plastic bag (do not use all the Cream of Rice at once or the marinade on the shrimp will make it too moist to coat the shrimp evenly).
• Pour enough oil into a small, deep saucepan to cover 6 of the shrimp completely at one time and begin to heat the oil until hot enough to fry the shrimp.
• While the oil is heating, put 6 shrimp into the plastic bag, close the bag, and toss to coat evenly with the Cream of Rice.
• Place the shrimp on a slotted spoon and ease them into the hot oil; they should sizzle immediately.
• Turn after 1 minute and fry for another minute, or until evenly golden.
• Remove the shrimp to paper towels to absorb any excess oil, and repeat the process with another 1/4 cup Cream of Rice and 6 shrimp.
• Repeat the process one more time with the last 6 shrimp, then serve, garnished with lemon wedges.
