Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 slices Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Optional dipping sauce of choice (tartar, cocktail, etc.)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Prepare the breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Coat each shrimp lightly with flour, shaking off excess. Dip the shrimp into the egg mixture, then press it into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Repeat with all shrimp.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil—it should sizzle immediately and turn golden in about 10 seconds.
Carefully lower the shrimp into the hot oil in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 2–3 minutes or until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the panko shrimp hot with lemon wedges and optional dipping sauce.
