Instructions for Fried Shrimp
Step 1: Prepare the shrimp
Clean the shrimp, peel off the shells, and keep the tails intact for presentation.
Use a toothpick or a small knife to remove the black vein on the shrimp’s back.
Marinate the shrimp with salt, pepper, and (optionally) a pinch of garlic powder or paprika for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the breading station
Arrange 3 bowls in a convenient order: Bowl 1 with flour, Bowl 2 with beaten eggs and a pinch of salt, and Bowl 3 with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Coat the shrimp
Dredge each shrimp in the flour, ensuring an even coat. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, followed by a generous roll in the breadcrumbs. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the shrimp to ensure an even and tight coat.

Step 4: Fry the shrimp
Heat oil in a pan or deep fryer to around 170-180°C. Carefully place 5-6 shrimps into the hot oil to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain the excess oil on paper towels.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Arrange the crispy fried shrimp on a platter, garnished with lettuce or coriander leaves. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce: chili sauce, mayonnaise, or tartar sauce. Enjoy it while it’s hot and crispy!
