For the Butterfly Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

Make a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp without cutting all the way through. Gently open the shrimp to create a butterfly shape.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3

Bread the Shrimp

Dredge each butterflied shrimp in flour, dip into the egg wash, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully place the breaded shrimp into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

6

Drain and Serve

Remove the shrimp from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
