Bread the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, followed by coating it with bread crumbs. Ensure each shrimp is evenly coated.

Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the breaded shrimp into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
