Place the bag of shrimp into cold water until thawed. Or if you are in a hurry put the shrimp into a colander and run cold water on the shrimp until it thaws completely.
At this point I like to remove the tails so I am not wasting my breading on them but you can leave them if you wish.
Breading the Shrimp
Next I place the flour, beaten egg, and Panko bread crumbs (w/cayenne to taste) into 3 separate containers. The shrimp is then placed, one at a time, into the flour, then the egg, and then into the Panko.
Make sure you don’t drip egg into the Panko or soon you will have a bunch of small Panko balls.
Deep Frying
Set your oven to it's lowest setting. This is to keep the fried shrimp warm while you are finishing them all up.
Heat your oil to 350 degrees and slowly drop the shrimp in. Don't add too many as this can reduce the oil temperature.
Cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and delicious.
Place the shrimp on plate with paper towel or on a rack on a sheet pan with newspaper or paper towel underneath. This is so you can wick away excess oil. Salt to taste
Place the cooked shrimp into the oven to keep warm until you are done frying.
