Fried Shrimp
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Bread the Shrimp
Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all shrimp.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, 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, working in batches if necessary. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of side.
