Prepare three shallow dishes: In the first dish, add the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the two eggs. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

Bread the Shrimp
Take each marinated shrimp and dredge it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Frying
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by about 1/2 inch.
- 6
Fry the Shrimp
Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping a breadcrumb in; it should sizzle), carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the shrimp and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the jumbo breaded shrimp hot with your choice of dipping sauce and lemon wedges.
