Bread the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the shrimp in the dry mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Set aside on a plate.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
