Fried Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Fried Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in this spice mixture until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk, and breadcrumbs. This will be your breading station.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg and milk mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Fry shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried shrimp with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
