Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs extra large shrimp, (peeled and deveined )
1/2 cup all-purpose flour ((preferably unbleached))
1 1/2 tsp paprika*
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs**
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil ((about 8 cups))
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley ((optional))
1 lemon, (cut into wedges (optional))

Steps:

Add flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a medium shallow dish and whisk to blend.***
In a second medium shallow dish whisk eggs until well blended.
Pour panko into a 3rd shallow dish (a pie plate works well here).
Preheat oil in a large pot to 350 degrees while you coat shrimp. Note that shrimp should be lightly wet on the exterior, if not rinse with water and drain well otherwise the flour won't stick in the next step.
Dredge shrimp in flour mixture on both sides. Transfer to egg mixture and coat on both sides. Then finish by coating in panko on both sides, while pressing into panko so it adheres well.
Fry shrimp in batches (no more than 10 at a time) until cooked through, about 1 minute. Bring oil back to 350 degree temperature between batches.
Use a large spider to remove shrimp from oil and transfer to a baking sheet lined with two layers of paper towels to drain. Repeat process with remaining shrimp.
Garnish shrimp with parsley if desired, serve with lemon wedges and your favorite shrimp sauce (such as cocktail sauce, honey mustard, tartar sauce, sriracha dip, creamy herb etc).

Deep-Fried Panko Shrimp image

With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up these crunchy shrimp as a main dish or a treat for random company that stops by. I keep shrimp in the freezer just for this recipe. Place it in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes for a fast and easy thaw while you assemble the breading. Serve with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce if desired.

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
2 medium eggs
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails left on

Steps:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Whisk eggs in a small bowl.
Combine panko bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to combine.
Dip shrimp in the beaten egg, shaking off excess. Drop shrimp into the bag of panko mixture and shake to coat. Place shrimp on a plate and repeat with remaining shrimp.
Drop shrimp in batches into the preheated deep fryer and cook until breading is browned and shrimp are opaque, about 1 1/2 minutes per batch.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Tips:

Choose jumbo shrimp: Larger shrimp will hold up better to the frying process and provide a more satisfying bite.
Use fresh or frozen shrimp: If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
Clean the shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the shell and the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unpleasant to eat.
Make sure the shrimp are dry: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels before coating them. This will help the coating adhere better.
Use a light touch when breading the shrimp: Don't over-handle the shrimp, or the coating will fall off.
Fry the shrimp in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350°F (175°C) before you add the shrimp. This will help the shrimp cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the shrimp in batches so that they don't stick together. This will also help them cook evenly.
Cook the shrimp until they are golden brown and opaque: This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain the shrimp on paper towels: This will remove any excess oil.
Serve the shrimp immediately: Panko-fried shrimp is best served hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Panko-fried shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With its crispy coating and tender, juicy interior, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Follow these tips to make perfect panko-fried shrimp every time.
