Instructions

1
1. Pat the shrimp dry and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, tossing gently to coat evenly.
2
2. In one shallow bowl, whisk together the flour and paprika. Pour the beaten eggs into a second shallow bowl. Pour the panko crumbs into a third shallow bowl.
3
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 375 °F.

4. Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip it into the beaten egg, then press it into the panko crumbs, coating all sides. Set on a plate.

5. Carefully place 4 to 5 coated shrimp into the hot oil. Fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the coating turns golden brown.
