Fried Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first bowl, a mixture of beaten egg and milk in the second bowl, and bread crumbs combined with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

3

Bread the Shrimp

Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the fried shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
