Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Season the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the shrimp until evenly coated and set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Breading
- 2
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with cornstarch. This will create a three-step breading station.

Bread the Shrimp
Take each marinated shrimp and dredge it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately.
