Popcorn Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Set up the Breading Station

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    Serve hot with French fries on the side. Enjoy!
