Bread the Shrimp
Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the shrimp in the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp in panko breadcrumbs, pressing slightly to adhere the crumbs.
Frying and Serving

Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the breaded shrimp in the hot oil (do this in batches to avoid overcrowding) and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and drain on paper towels.
