Shrimp and Breading
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
- 2
Setup Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Bread the Shrimp
Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. You can test the oil by dropping in a breadcrumb; it should sizzle.
- 5
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
