Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp , deveined and peeled to the tail (I used 18-21 count, I'd use anything up to 30 count)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 egg beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- canola oil , for frying
Instructions
- Note: You can also peel off the tail if you would like, but it makes for a cute and easy handle.
- In a small bowl add the salt and flour and stir to mix.
- 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.
- Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, then in the egg and finally in the panko bowl until well coated.
- 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.
- Shrimp cook quickly so don't let them cook too long.
- Serve with tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
