Instructions

Sprinkle salt and pepper over shrimp in a medium bowl and mix well.
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add eggs to a second bowl and panko to a third bowl.
To coat the shrimp, dip them into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and then into panko crumbs. Place them on a flat plate or tray.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to a temperature of about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Once the oil is hot, fry a few shrimp at a time fry until golden brown. About 2 to 3 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.
Remove the fried shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Notes

Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
The thicker the coating, the crispier it gets. I dredge the shrimp with my hands and press them into the mixture on both sides to get a thicker coating.
Avoid overcooking them. Overcooked ones are chewy and tough to eat.
