Pro Tips

#1

Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly before seasoning to ensure the breading adheres properly.

#2

Shake off excess flour before dipping in the egg wash to prevent a gummy coating.

#3

Work in batches to ensure the shrimp are in a single layer for even crisping.

#4

Flipping the shrimp halfway through the cooking time ensures even browning on both sides.
