Bread the Shrimp
Take each marinated shrimp and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well. Repeat this process for all shrimp.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
