Ingredients
20
large, raw shrimp
thawed
2
Tbsp
water
1
cup
flour
1
cup
panko bread crumbs
in a dish
salt and pepper to taste
Dipping sauce
1

2
tbsp

Instructions
Rinse shrimp, dry with paper towel. “Butterfly” them by slicing down the back, leaving tails on.
Heat cooking oil in a good sized pot, until shimmering, about 350 degrees
Beat eggs and water together in a small dish
Submerge each shrimp in egg mixture for a several seconds; then toss with flour, making sure it’s thoroughly coated
Dip again in egg mixture, then in panko crumbs
Try adding one shrimp to oil; it should be hot enough to bubble and sizzle, but not so hot as to smoke or burn
Add the shrimp, a few at a time, frying for about 3 minutes, until golden
Drain the fried shrimp on a rack, over paper towel
Serve with lemon wedges and dipping sauce
