Ingredients
Instructions
Add flour, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning to a medium-sized mixing bowl or shallow dish and whisk the ingredients together.
In a second mixing bowl or dish, beat the eggs until they are well blended. Pour the Panko breadcrumbs into a third mixing bowl.
Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture on both sides and shake off any excess. Then dip the shrimp into the egg mixture and coat. Finish coating the shrimp in the Panko breadcrumbs on each side by turning the shrimp and pressing the breadcrumbs into them.
Heat the oil in a large pot to 350°F (175°C) and cook your shrimp in small batches for about 1 minute or until they are cooked through. *Do not crowd the shrimp as they fry.
Use kitchen tongs to take out each shrimp and transfer them to a wire cooling rack over a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat to cook the rest of the shrimp.
