Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

2

Set Up Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3

Bread the Shrimp

Coat each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

4

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

5

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6

Drain and Serve

Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
