FRIED SHRIMP RECIPE

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).

CRISPY FRIED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon salt, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper.
• Place the buttermilk in a separate shallow bowl.
• Pour the oil into a medium Dutch oven or cast iron skillet and warm over medium-high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry and dredge them in the flour mixture first, then coat with buttermilk, and dredge in the flour mixture again. Shake the shrimp after each coating to get off any excess flour or batter.
• Working in batches, fry shrimp until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined tray. Season with additional salt, to taste. You may need to increase the heat to keep the oil at a steady temperature between 350 degrees F and 375 degrees F as the shrimp fry.
• Keep the fried shrimp warm in a 200 degree F oven while you fry the remaining batches.
