Method
Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Breading Process
- 2
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, paprika, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

Coat the Shrimp
Remove the marinated shrimp from the refrigerator. Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate while you prepare the frying oil.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb in; it should sizzle immediately.
- 5
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve Hot
Serve the K.Fried Shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and a wedge of lemon on the side.
