Method
Prepare Shrimp
Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp dry with paper towels.
Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Bread Shrimp
Place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten egg in another, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a third.
Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess.
Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.
Coat each shrimp in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Fry Shrimp
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the breaded shrimp in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or lemon wedges.
