For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to the bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs will give you the crispiest results. If you only have regular bread crumbs, you can toast them lightly in a dry pan for added crunch. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying. If it's too low, the shrimp will absorb too much oil. If it's too high, the breading will burn before the shrimp is cooked through.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Frying Station: In a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Ensure you have a reliable thermometer to monitor the temperature. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 20 mins Bread the Shrimp: In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In another shallow bowl, place the bread crumbs. Working one at a time, dip each shrimp into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Then, press the shrimp into the bread crumbs, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Place the breaded shrimp on a clean plate, being careful not to stack them. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. (Prep time: 15-20 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Fry to Golden Perfection: Carefully lower the breaded shrimp into the preheated oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the fryer or pan. Fry until crispy and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the fried shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 0 mins Serve Immediately: Arrange the golden-brown shrimp on a serving platter and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or a spicy aioli.

Jan 15, 2025Next time, I'll try using an air fryer instead of deep frying to reduce the oil.
