Mini Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg Wash

    In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

  4. 4

    Coat the Shrimp

    First, dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Drain the Shrimp

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the crispy mini shrimp hot with cocktail sauce on the side.
