Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to combine and let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    Prepare three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Rice Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine jasmine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 6

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let sit covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork before serving.

Frying the Shrimp

  1. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 8

    Fry the Shrimp

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

  3. 9

    Drain the Shrimp

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish
