Bread the Shrimp
Take each marinated shrimp and first coat it with flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, and then roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat this process for all shrimp.

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 golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
