Ingredients

• 1 pound Plant-based shrimps
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Non-dairy milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Dip each piece of plant-based shrimp into the vegan buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 4

Coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good adherence of the coating.

Step 5

Place the coated shrimp on a plate and repeat with the remaining pieces.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, spread the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Dip each flour-coated shrimp back into the vegan buttermilk and then roll in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Carefully place the coated shrimps in the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried shrimps and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
