Bread the Shrimp
Take each tiger shrimp, coat it in the flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the panko breadcrumbs. Repeat until all shrimp are breaded.

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
