Ingredients

  • 1 lb Deveined and peeled shrimp - pat very dry
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Rice flour
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Onion powder
  • High-heat tolerant oil such as vegetable or peanut oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the breading station by setting up the bowl and a plate of the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Be sure the shrimp are thawed, cold, and dry from water or excess moisture.
  • In the bowl, beat the three eggs. Add in slowly all the dry ingredients, whisking gently until completely smooth.
    panko batter
  • Dredge each shrimp in the batter. It just needs one good coating.
  • Lay the batter-coated shrimp into the panko breadcrumbs and use your fingers or a spoon to put panko breadcrumbs on the top of the shrimp. Make sure the shrimp is coated well with panko, just very lightly pressing the panko onto the shrimp. The panko should be fluffy.

  • Place the breaded shrimp on tray and refrigerate for 5-10 minutes only.

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (180°C). You can add enough to submerge the shrimp or add two inches and then turn the shrimp during frying to fry the other side.
  • Fry the breaded shrimp in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
