24 large prawns, peeled & deveined; tiger prawns/shrimp is good size

  • 6. Dredge shrimp in flour, shaking off excess. I use a spoon to help cover shrimp with flour.
  • 7. Dip shrimp in egg whites and let excess drip of.
  • 8. Cover shrimp with breadcrumbs. Use spoon to help cover shrimp with the crumbs.
  • 9. Press shrimp in oil on both sides. Add more oil as needed to coat all shrimp.

  • 11. Bake shrimp until browned on bottom, about 8 minutes; then turn over and bake for an additional 8 minutes until golden brown and opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part.
  • 12. Enjoy this Oven Fried Prawn dinner with my Easy Homemade Tartar Sauce recipe that has already been posted.
  • 13. Make Ahead Hint: Bread Shrimp early in day and chill uncovered in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours (the coating dries out and the Shrimp gets crisper). I highly recommend doing this!
