A glass of breakfast never tasted so wonderful! Frozen bananas should always be available for a quick smoothie.

Ingredients
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 4 cups shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 cups dry bread crumbs
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Working one at a time, dip shrimp into beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place the breaded shrimp, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Lower breaded shrimp carefully into preheated oil in batches. Fry until crispy and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining breaded shrimp.
- We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Simple and crisp but the breading needs some seasoning. Salt if nothing else.
Followed to a T. Very quick & delicious!
Awesome…only used panko crumbs vs bread crumbs based on some reviews . Definitely will keep as my go to for quick dinner!,
Love it! Didn’t know if I should thaw shrimp first but found that the egg stayed better when done so. Thank you for the recipe! My family loved it!
Simple recipe, but I would’ve liked it if there was a kick of flavour to it. Maybe some pepper, paprika and garlic powder to taste. Cajun spice works well with lemon/lime too. You could even add some hot sauce in the egg mixture.
followed recipe. what should oil temp be? mine appeared too light and slightly tough?
Great recipe! was very easy to make! Tastes great! I recommend this recipe
It was good! I only added Old Bay seasoning just because my family and I love to add it to seafood dishes.
I think that a sauce could be added, something sweet and spicy could be good.
We followed the seasoning directions but, instead of using a large saucepan, we used a very small saucepan with less oil – just deep enough to submerge a whole shrimp – and deep-fried the shrimp 4 or 5 at a time for about 30 seconds each. It came out great!
I followed this as closely as possible and it def turned out way better than any fried shrimp I’ve ever made, so…I would have given 5 stars except for the lack of flavor. Even with me seasoning the shrimp, the flour, and the panko a little, I thought there was very little actual flavor. Plenty of crunchiness, which was what I wanted, but not enough flavor. So next time I’ll just have to play around with more seasonings. Its def a great recipe though and I got good tips from others such as letting the shrimp sit a little after the flour dredging, and especially going ahead with doing the flour,egg,panko on a full batch(lay each shrimp on parchment or foil) before starting to fry. Otherwise you’ll dip one shrimp and drop it in the grease and only have time to do a couple more before the first ones are done already. Def try this one and experiment with seasonings!
Simple and tastes so good!! Thank you!!
So many shrimp recipes to choose from on the All Recipes site. I chose this one with the fewest steps and ingredients. It was so easy and delicious I know I’ll be making it again. I had it over brown rice with some sweet & sour dipping sauce along with 2 ears of corn.
Very easy, I used olive oil for frying
After peeling and cleaning the shrimp I dusted the shrimp with flour. I also seasoned it with season salt, pepper, paprika, garlic. I then followed the recipe except I used a cast iron pan and peanut oil. Very very good. Light and airy, crunchy and full of flavor. Will definitely make this again!
I have never, ever had any kind of luck with coating and frying shrimp. I have a million great ways to prepare them other wise but not one single way to bread them and fry them till now. I used the 8 to 10 count and added some Cajun seasonings. Not only did they hold together, the crunch was there just how we like them.
Simple, fast, and basic fried shrimp. Better than sliding shrimp out from a box.
I’ve made this recipe many, many times. We alternate between flour and bread crumbs but I must admit the bread crumbs go over better with everyone. We use Italian bread crumbs for added flavor.
I used brown pita breadcrumbs (stale pitas in the blender) then added a tablespoon of curry powder, a dash of hot chili powder, and some sea salt. I also used baby prawns. Came out almost as good as momma used to make! 🙂 xx
I liked the recipe. I added some stuff to mine though. I used frozen shrimp, that i set on my back porch and then ran cold water on it in a colander to get the remaining ice off. I used canola oil and could only find Italian bread crumbs in my pantry, it smelled like stuffing so I wanted to change it a bit. I put in salt, pepper, and a garlic rub for meat. It turned out fantastic! It tasted amazing. My bread crumbs wouldn’t stick well so I started to double bread. Make sure you have no lumps in your bread crumbs, like left over egg, because it wont stick well to your shrimp. I loved it and will do it again!
made mine in the deep fryer and the breading did not come off…I was amazed! Good taste. A little bland, but I’m sure it would’ve been tastier if I had added spices to the breading. Definitely easy. Took me no time to make.
