Season the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with a mixture of eggs and milk whisked together, and the last one with panko breadcrumbs. This will help in the breading process.
