Fried Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Fried Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one bowl for flour, one for beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Coat each shrimp in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil, working in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried shrimp hot with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce on the side.
