Ingredients

• 1 pound Jumbo shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, leaving the tails on for easy handling.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with paprika for added flavor.

Step 5

Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the coated shrimp into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.

Step 7

Transfer the shrimp to the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly on all sides. Set the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet or plate.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.

Step 9

Fry the shrimp in small batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 10

Remove the fried shrimp using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and your favorite dipping sauce.
