Ingredients
- 500 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 60 ml milk
- 200 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Step 5
Set up a breading station: place the flour mixture first, followed by the egg mixture, and then the panko mixture.
Step 6
Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, press the shrimp into the panko mixture, making sure it is evenly coated. Repeat with all the shrimp and set them on a plate.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to 175°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature.
Step 8
Carefully lower the breaded shrimp into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the shrimp using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing. Optionally, pair with your favorite dipping sauce.
