  • Use a light hand when breading the shrimp. You don't want to over-coat them, or they will be greasy and heavy.
  • Use a variety of breading ingredients. This will give the shrimp more flavor and texture.
  • Fry the shrimp in hot oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
