CRISPY SHRIMP POPPERS

A "Taste of Home" terrific appetizer from Jacquelynne Stine of Las Vegas.

Provided by Daune (pronounced "Dawn") Browne

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
4 oz cream cheese, softened
10 bacon trips
1 c all-purpose flour
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 c panko (japanese) bread crumbs
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Butterfly the shrimp along the outside curves. Spread about 1 teaspoon cream cheese inside each shrimp.
  • 2. Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise; wrap a piece around each shrimp and secure with toothpicks.
  • 3. In 3 separate shallow bowls, place the flour, eggs and bread crumbs. Coat the shrimp with flour; dip into eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.
  • 4. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry shrimp, a few at a time, for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 5. Drain on paper towels. Discard toothpicks before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose large shrimp: Using large shrimp (36-40 count per pound) will make your shrimp poppers more substantial and easier to handle.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to butterfly the shrimp and remove the veins.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality breadcrumb mixture: The breadcrumb mixture is what will give your shrimp poppers their crispy coating. Make sure to use a mixture that you like the flavor of.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the shrimp poppers, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the shrimp poppers will not cook evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Shrimp poppers are best served immediately after they are fried. This will ensure that they are crispy and hot.

Conclusion:

Crispy shrimp poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crispy and flavorful snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crispy shrimp poppers a try. You won't be disappointed!
