Butterfly Shrimp Directions
1. Prepare the Shrimp
Butterfly the shrimp by slicing along the back, being careful not to cut all the way through. Flatten them slightly and set aside.
2. Set Up Breading Station
In three separate bowls, place the flour in one, the beaten eggs in another, and the panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third.
3. Bread the Shrimp
Dredge each shrimp in flour, then dip them in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the shrimp to adhere well.
4. Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
5. 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.
6. Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
