Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup club soda, cold
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 4 cups oil, for frying
- 4 optional lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cold club soda until well combined.
Preheat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or deep pan.
Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture to lightly coat, shaking off any excess.
Next, dip the flour-coated shrimp into the egg and club soda mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
Roll each shrimp in the gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly.
Carefully lower the breaded shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, accompanied by lemon wedges if desired.
