Camaron Empanizados

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Set them aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Coat each shrimp first in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set the breaded shrimp aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Camaron Empanizados hot with white rice, sour cream, guacamole salad, and chipotle mayo sauce.
