Ingredients
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled, tails left on, and deveined
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko crumbs
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation
Place the shrimp in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a small bowl, stir together the flour and paprika. Place eggs and panko crumbs into separate bowls.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F. Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally into the panko crumbs to coat. Fry a few at a time until golden brown. This should take no longer than 5 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving. Enjoy!
