Fried Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Fried Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat them in breadcrumbs. Place breaded shrimp on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 4 cups of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
