Chef's Notes
Although I used garlic powder in this recipe feel free to use your own spices in the flour .
If you can’t find panko you can use regular bread crumbs but I think the panko will taste much better .
One important thing you should keep in mind here is to AVOID over cooking the shrimp it will become very tough .
Step 1: Make the sauce .
- 1/2 C of mayo
- 3 Tbs of ketchup
Mix the mayo and the Ketchup together then chill in the refrigerator .
Step 2: Prepare the shrimps
- 1 pound of jumbo shrimps
- 1 C of flour
- 1 Tbs of salt
- 1 Tbs of pepper
- 1 Tbs of garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbs of milk
- 2 C of Panko bread crumbs
If the shrimps is not cleaned and devained then start by cleaning and devaining it.
Pat the shrimp dry and set aside .
put the flour , salt , pepper , and garlic powder in a plate and stir with a fork .
In a bowl beat the eggs with the milk .
Put the panko in a another plate and then start by dredging the shrimps in the flour , shake the excess flour then dip them in the egg mixture , after that cover the shrimps with the panko completely and ensure that there is an even coating on it .
Do that with all the shrimps then put them in another plate .
Step 3: Fry the shrimps
- Vegetable or Canola oil
- Vegetable or Canola oil
Start by preheating the oil to 375 degree then add the shrimps one by one.
Don’t overcrowd the pan or the oil temperature will drop , you may want to fry it in patches.
Fry until gold and brown about 2-3 minuets then transfer the cooked shrimps to a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil.
