Ingredients

  • 1 lb medium uncooked shrimp peeled and deveined
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1- quart vegetable oil for frying
  • Fresh parsley to garnish
  • Dipping sauce of your choice for serving

Instructions

  • Season shrimp with salt, black pepper, paprika and Italian seasoning.
  • Set three bowls. Mix flour in the first bowl, place eggs in the second bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
  • Place each shrimp into the flour, then into the egg wash and finally into the panko crumbs. Toss to coat evenly every step.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a deep skillet or heavy bottom pan to 375º F.
  • Fry the shrimp in batches, until golden brown, for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove fried shrimp with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with a paper towel sheet, sprinkle fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Don't skip the egg. To help the panko breadcrumbs stick better to the shrimp, the should be lightly dipped in beaten egg before coating. This will help create a nice crunchy texture when finished.
  • Use a slotted spoon or tongs to place the shrimp in and out of the hot oil. This will help to avoid splattering oil everywhere.
  • Correctly set the temperature of the oil to 375°F (190°C). Too high of a temperature can cause your shrimp to burn before they cook through.
  • Watch the panko shrimp carefully while frying, so they don't overcook.
  • Place shrimp on paper towels after cooking. This will absorb any excess oil before serving.
