Cooking Instructions
Set Up Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs.
Bread the Shrimp
Dredge each shrimp first in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
