Deep fryer or large saucepan Bowls Plate Paper Towels
4 cups shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 cups dry bread crumbs 1 quart vegetable oil for frying 1 large egg, beaten
1. Heat Oil: Begin by heating the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). This ensures the perfect cooking environment for crispy shrimp. 2. Prepare Shrimp: Working one at a time, dip each shrimp into beaten egg, letting any excess egg drip back into the bowl.
3. Bread Crumb Coating: Press the egg-coated shrimp into bread crumbs, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Place the breaded shrimp, unstacked, onto a plate.
4. Frying: Carefully lower the breaded shrimp into the preheated oil in batches. Fry them until they achieve a delightful crispiness and turn golden brown, usually within 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Drain Excess Oil Once fried to perfection, transfer the crispy shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate. This helps drain any excess oil, ensuring a lighter and crunchier texture..
