Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Jumbo shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, leaving the tails on for easy handling.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.
In a third shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with paprika for added flavor.
Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the coated shrimp into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
Transfer the shrimp to the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly on all sides. Set the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet or plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Fry the shrimp in small batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fried shrimp using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and your favorite dipping sauce.
