Ingredients
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the panko bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Roll the shrimp into the panko bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat this process for all the shrimp.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Adjust the cooking time depending on the size of the shrimp.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining shrimp.
Serve the fried shrimp hot with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon wedges on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
