Step 1

Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.

Step 2

Line up three shallow bowls, cake or pie pans are perfect. In the first place the flour, the second the eggs and the third, the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Start by coating a shrimp in with the flour, then dip into the eggs and finish in the panko. Place on a sheet pan and repeat with the remaining shrimp.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or fryer to 350˚F.

Step 5

Working in batches, about 6 at a time, fry the shrimp. Shrimp cook very quickly, about 1 – 2 minutes, so keep an eye on them. As soon as they are golden brown, remove from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or sheet pan. Repeat until all of the shrimp have been fried.

Step 6

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. If you need some suggestions, here are a few: English Cocktail Sauce, Classic Cocktail Sauce, Sriracha Balsamic Cocktail Sauce, and Cranberry Mustard Sauce.
