Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

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

2

Set Up Breading Station

In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3

Bread the Shrimp

First, coat each shrimp in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, dredge it in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6

Serve

Serve the popcorn shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side.
