Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with mashed banana, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Breading
- 2
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In the third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.

Bread the Shrimp
Remove the marinated shrimp from the refrigerator. Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated and set them aside on a plate.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; it should sizzle and turn golden brown.

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and drain them on paper towels.
Garnish

Serve and Garnish
Arrange the fried banana shrimp on a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
