Instructions

  1. Note: You can also peel off the tail if you would like, but it makes for a cute and easy handle.
  2. In a small bowl add the salt and flour and stir to mix.
  3. Set up a small line of bowls, the first being the flour mixture, the second is the eggs and finally a bowl of the panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, then in the egg and finally in the panko bowl until well coated.
  5. In a sauté pan or small saucepan heat enough oil to have 2 inches of oil on medium-high heat and cook 1-2 minutes on each side, until they are browned and crispy.
  6. Shrimp cook quickly so don't let them cook too long.
  7. Serve with tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
