Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the breading stick better.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, tapping off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test this by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

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