I always have a bag of scratch-made frozen shrimp in my freezer for a quick and easy meal. This Crunchy Fried Butterfly Shrimp recipe is always on demand from my family!
– In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.– In another shallow bowl, whisk eggs with water. Set aside.– Pile breadcrumbs onto a plate, set aside.– On another plate, sprinkle a light coating of panko and set aside.
– Place egg-coated shrimp into panko bread crumbs, cover with panko and press lightly, making sure all shrimp is covered with panko and the shrimp has remained open. Place coated shrimp onto the plate that was sprinkled with panko.
– Continue coating shrimp, adding panko to the plate as needed. – Once all shrimp have been coated and placed on the plate, place plate in the refrigerator.
– Heat oil in a pan until oil sizzles when a few panko crumbs are tossed in the pan.– Fry shrimp in hot oil until shrimp are golden brown. – Serve immediately with cocktail sauce and lemons.
