Deep Fried Shrimp (Japanese Style)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. Diamond Reef® Raw Shrimp, medium, peeled & deveined, tail on
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko crumbs

Directions
- Place the shrimp in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a small bowl, stir together the flour and paprika. Place eggs and panko crumbs into separate bowls.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F. Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally into the panko crumbs to coat. Fry a few at a time until golden brown. This should take no longer than 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving.
