Jumbo Shrimp Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Preparation of Breading Station

   Set up a breading station by placing three shallow bowls in a row. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Coating the Shrimp

   Take each jumbo shrimp and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.

3. 3

   Frying the Shrimp

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

   Serving

   Serve the jumbo shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
