Coat the Shrimp
First, dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated. Finally, roll it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of bread into it; it should sizzle and brown quickly.

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
