Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading stations: one with flour mixed with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder; the second bowl with beaten eggs and milk; and the third bowl with breadcrumbs.

Breading

  1. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, coating it well, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Drain the Shrimp

    Once cooked, remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Shrimp

    Transfer the fried shrimp to a serving platter and serve with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce on the side.
