Crispy Shrimp
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- 2
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with spicy slaw and zesty remoulade.
