Breading Mixture

Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with a mixture of eggs and milk, and the last with panko breadcrumbs. Mix the flour with a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; if it sizzles and browns quickly, the oil is ready.

Bread the Shrimp
Take each marinated shrimp and dip it first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then into the egg and milk mixture, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure each shrimp is well-coated.

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the breaded shrimp into 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 crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
