Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and combine breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Coat each shrimp in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded shrimp in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove shrimp from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
