Kitten’s Easy Breaded Shrimp
Notes from our test kitchen; although regular breadcrumbs are listed panko will work great also if using panko you can omit the flour, if you like some heat add in cayenne pepper or Creole/Cajun seasoning or feel free to use your own favorite seasonings, the shrimp may be skillet or deep-fryed
Yield 21/30 count shrimp
Ingredients:
21/30 count medium uncooked shrimp (peeded and deveined with tails removed)
1 large egg, beaten
1-1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
oil for frying
Instructions:
Have all the shrimp breaded and on a plate before starting to fry.
Pat all the shrimp dry as possible using paper towels.
Place the egg in a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish combine the breadcumbs with flour, garlic powder and seasoned salt (or seasonings of choice).
Dip the shrimp firstly into the egg allowing excess to drip off, then coat into the breadcrumb mixture pressing down firmly with hands to adhere the coating to the shrimp.
Place all the coated shrimp on a plate.
Heat oil to in skillet over medium-high heat (or use a deep-fryer for frying)
For an extra crispy coating you may lightly coat the shrimp a second time in the breadcrumb mixture just before frying if desired.
Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Transfer to a rack or paper towels to drain (I prefer a rack, paper towels tend to make the coating soft).
