Fried Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Fried Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Make the Breading Station

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy fried shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
