I was looking for a good fried shrimp recipe and was attracted to this one because it's almost exactly how I make my breaded pork chops. And, as expected these fried shrimps were so good even my DH who never liked shrimp before declared they were fantastic. Only change I made, which is just out of habit was I mixed the panko, flour and exactly 1 tsp of season salt in a container with a lid and shaked to mix. All else exactly as written. Once breading the shrimp you can refrigerate them until you are ready to fry them up. I do this with everything I bread using Panko. It seems to help the coating stay on for when you are later frying. To keep shrimp warm after frying put them the oven at 200 degrees just on some foil or whatever works for you. All reading, please try this recipe as it is fantastic and works for other things you wish to bread! Thanks Cali for posting!

Hi my name is Pearl and I'm a foodaholic!
I was spoiled with home-cooked meals when I lived with my parents, so I never really had to cook much. Since moving out on my own, I would say I've become more of a novice cook. I absolutely love finding new recipes to try and am constantly on Zaar.
