Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Coat each shrimp in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each shrimp is fully covered.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully place the breaded shrimp in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
