Panko Breaded Deep Fried Shrimp

Blog #7

My husband came home for the holidays and brought me home 10 pounds of jumbo tiger prawns from Mississippi.  So this is what we decided to make with about 2 pounds of them one night for dinner.  It was very tasty and had really good flavor. 

INGREDIENTS

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled (tails left on) and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko crumbs
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

1.  Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and mix.  In a small bowl, stir together the flour and paprika.  Place eggs into a separate bowl and finally place the panko crumbs into another bowl.
2.  Heat the oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 375 degrees F.  Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally into the panko crumbs to coat.  Fry a few at a time until golden brown.  This should take no longer than 5-7 minutes (depending on the size of your shrimp).  Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
