Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse and pat dry the shrimp using paper towels.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with water, and one with panko breadcrumbs seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the beaten egg mixture, and finally coat it completely with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Place the breaded shrimp on a plate or baking sheet while you finish preparing the rest.
In a large, deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature for consistent frying.
Carefully place a few shrimp into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining shrimp, ensuring the oil temperature returns to 350°F before frying each batch.
Serve the panko fried shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or over a bed of greens.
