Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb dropped into it sizzles.

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
