Bread the Shrimp
Take each seasoned shrimp and first dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all shrimp.

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 they are golden brown and fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
