Ingredients

Before we begin, here are the ingredients you will need for our crispy breaded fried shrimp:Frozen shrimp (thawed, deveined, and with shells removed)

• Olive oil
• Garlic powder
• Paprika
• Ground black pepper
• Salt
• Two eggs
• All-purpose flour
• Panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)
• Preparation
• Preparing the Shrimp

First, let's prepare the shrimp. If you have fresh shrimp, remove the heads, devein them, and take off the shells. Do not throw away the heads; crush them to extract the juices, which can be used for cooking dishes like pancit molo or pancit bihon. Place the extracted juices in a resealable container and freeze them for future use.

Marinating the Shrimp

Next, we will marinate the shrimp. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure that all the spices coat the shrimp evenly. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preparing the Breading Station

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare your breading station. Beat two eggs in a bowl. In separate containers, place the all-purpose flour and panko breadcrumbs.

Breading the Shrimp

Once the shrimp has marinated, it’s time to bread them. Follow these steps:Dredge the Shrimp: Coat each shrimp in all-purpose flour.

Dip in Egg: Dip the flour-coated shrimp into the beaten eggs.

Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll the shrimp in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.

Place the breaded shrimp on a clean plate. Repeat this process until all the shrimp are breaded.

Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan. The oil should be enough to submerge the shrimp for deep frying. If you have a thermometer, heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If not, use your best judgment to ensure the oil is hot but not too hot, as we want to cook the shrimp evenly without burning the outside.

Cooking the Shrimp

Carefully place the breaded shrimp into the hot oil. Fry one side until it turns golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. This should only take a few minutes. Once both sides are golden brown, remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. The paper towels will absorb any excess oil, keeping the shrimp crispy.

Serving

And there you have it – our crispy breaded fried shrimp is ready to serve! This dish is perfect on its own, but you can also pair it with a dipping sauce like sweet and sour sauce or even banana ketchup for a quick and tasty option.
