1
Prepare the Shrimp
Peel and devein the jumbo shrimp, leaving the tails on. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Prepare the Breading Station
In one bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the rice crumbs.
3
Bread the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with rice crumbs. Ensure each shrimp is well coated.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
