Coat the Shrimp
Take each marinated shrimp and first dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 350°F or 175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, it's ready.
