Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on if desired. Slice them into thin wedges or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
While the oil is heating, prepare the shrimp coating. In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper together.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly.
In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge it in the flour mixture, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate and repeat with all the shrimp.
Fry the potato slices in small batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and Old Bay seasoning if desired.
Once the chips are done, fry the breaded shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the crispy fried shrimp alongside the homemade chips. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or spicy mayo.
