Crispy Japanese Fried Panko Crumb Shrimp

First, prep your shrimp by peeling and deveining them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to add flavor.

Arrange your breading station with 3 separate bowls: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the Panko breadcrumbs.

Dredge each shrimp first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally cover thoroughly with the Panko breadcrumbs. Repeat these steps for all the shrimp.

Meanwhile, heat 2 inches oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when it sizzles upon adding a breadcrumb.

Fry the shrimp in batches, careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, around 2-3 minutes each side.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.

Serve the Panko shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy while hot!
