Crispy Japanese-Style Fried Shrimp

Ingredients List

• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled (tails left on) and deveined

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 2 large eggs, beaten

• 1 cup panko crumbs

• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Cooking Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients in advance.

Add shrimp to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Combine flour and paprika in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, and place panko breadcrumbs in another.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C). Coat each shrimp by dipping it first in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally the panko crumbs.

Fry the shrimp in small batches in the hot oil until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and drain them on paper towels before serving.

Serve the shrimp and enjoy!
