Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring 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 and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
