Popcorn Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

In a bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

2

Set Up Breading Station

Set up three bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs.

3

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.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

5

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.

6

Serve

Serve the popcorn shrimp hot with your choice of Tartar or Cocktail sauce and side options like House Salad, Caesar Salad, Potato Salad, Potato Chips, French Fries, or Tater Tots.
