Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs extra large shrimp, (peeled and deveined )
1/2 cup all-purpose flour ((preferably unbleached))
1 1/2 tsp paprika*
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs**
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil ((about 8 cups))
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley ((optional))
1 lemon, (cut into wedges (optional))

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).

FRIED SHRIMP

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 2 pounds of shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 pounds wild-caught shrimp
3 cups ketchup (recommended: Heinz)
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup lime juice
100-percent pure soybean oil, for fryer
All-purpose flour

Steps:

Peel and devein the shrimp by using a pair of kitchen scissors to cut along the outer edge of the shrimp's back, cutting the shell so you can get to the vein. Using a small paring knife, cut along the outer edge of the shrimp's back, about 1/2 inch deep. If you can see it, remove and discard the vein that runs along right under the surface of the back, with your fingers or the tip of your knife. Your shrimp must have a butterfly cut.
Preheat the oil in your fryer to 350 degrees F.
Mix the ketchup, pepper, cumin, garlic, salt, lime juice, and 1 cup water in a bowl. Have another mixing bowl with some flour ready. You will immerse the peeled and deveined shrimp in the sauce, and then dip the seasoned shrimp, 1 by 1, into the flour. Carefully place in the fryer and cook for 2 minutes. Repeat until all the shrimp have been fried.
