Bread the Shrimp
Take each marinated shrimp and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate and repeat until all shrimp are coated.

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
