Bowl 3 (Optional): Breadcrumbs/Panko

For an extra-crunchy finish.

Step 3: Coat the Shrimps Properly

Working with one shrimp at a time:

1. Dip it in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
2. Coat it in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip back.
3. Roll it in breadcrumbs or panko (optional but highly recommended).

Arrange coated shrimp on a plate or tray.
Let them rest for 5 minutes—this helps the coating stick firmly during frying.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a tiny pinch of flour—if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready.

Use a deep pan, wok, or fryer, and avoid overcrowding the pan to keep the shrimp crispy.

Step 5: Fry the Shrimps to Golden Perfection

Gently place shrimp in the hot oil.

• Fry for 2–3 minutes per side if shallow frying.
• If deep frying, 3–4 minutes total is perfect.

They should become golden, crisp, and curled.

Once done, remove the shrimps and place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

🍋 Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve your crispy fried shrimps immediately while they’re hot and crunchy.
They pair beautifully with:

• Garlic aioli
• Sweet chili sauce
• Tartar sauce
• Spicy mayo
• Lemon wedges
• A fresh salad or fries

⭐ Tips for the Best Fried Shrimps

• Don’t overcook—shrimp become tough if fried too long.
• Cornstarch is key for an ultra-light, crispy texture.
• Use panko breadcrumbs for the crunchiest coating.
• Keep oil hot; low-temperature oil makes soggy shrimp.
• You can air-fry or bake for a lighter version.
