Crispy Shrimp Ingredients

8 pieces Shrimp (peeled and deveined)

1 cup 00 bread flour

1 cup Cornstarch

1 cup Bread crumbs

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Watkins paprika

2 cups Oil (for frying)

2 cups French fries

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Shrimp

Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Bread the Shrimp

Dredge each shrimp in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture. Press the crumbs onto the shrimp to ensure they stick.

Heat the Oil

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

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully place the breaded shrimp in the hot oil, cooking them in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve

Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve with hot french fries.
