Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, set up the breading station: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- 3
Bread the Shrimp
Coat each shrimp first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Transfer the fried shrimp to a serving basket lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
