Panko Crusted Shrimp Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   Rinse the large shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a bowl and set aside.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate shallow dishes, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Shrimp

   Dredge each shrimp first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.

5. 5

   Cook the Shrimp

   Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove the cooked shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

6. 6

   Serve

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