Ingredients
- 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of Panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of O-Live Olive Oil, plus more for frying
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Start by seasoning the shrimp with salt and pepper. It's important to ensure your shrimp are dry to help the coating stick better.
- Dredge in Flour: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Coat the shrimp lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip in Egg: Dip the flour-coated shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat with Breadcrumbs: Place the Panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Press the shrimp into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of O-Live Olive Oil over medium-high heat. You'll want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, so adjust accordingly.
- Fry the Shrimp: Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve your crispy shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side for a tangy kick.
