👨‍🍳 Instructions

✅ 1. Prep the Shrimp:

• Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.

• Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.

✅ 2. Set Up Breading Stations:

Prepare three separate bowls or plates:

1. Flour + cornstarch mix: Combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Eggs: Beat the eggs until well mixed.

3. Breadcrumbs: Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.

✅ 3. Bread the Shrimp:

• Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, coating evenly.

• Then dip into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off.

• Finally, coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs stick.

✅ 4. Fry the Shrimp:

• Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat (about 170–180°C / 340–355°F).

• Fry the shrimp in batches (don’t overcrowd the pan) for 2–3 minutes or until golden and crispy.

• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

✅ 5. Serve:

• Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.

• Optional: garnish with parsley or chili flakes for an extra touch.

💡 Tips:

• For added flavor, marinate the shrimp for 10 minutes in a splash of lemon juice and garlic before breading.

• Want extra heat? Add cayenne pepper to the flour mix.

• These shrimp go perfectly with fries, coleslaw, or a side salad!
