Instructions
 

Shrimp Preparation

  • Place all ingredients for Spicy Mayo in bowl and stir until ingredients are incorporated. Cover and place in refrigerator to chill and ready to use.
  • Place cleaned Shrimp in a Mixing Bowl.
  • Add Garlic Herb Seasoning, Thyme, Smoked Paprika, Cayenne Pepper and a couple generous pinches of Salt. Using your hand, give it all a toss being sure to coat each Shrimp with seasoning. Set aside to marinate for a few minutes while getting prep assembly station set up.
  • Place Flour and Panko Breading in two separate bowls.
  • In third bowl, whisk Egg and Milk together until well incorporated.

Shrimp Assembly

  • Line a pan with wax paper or foil to avoid sticking to pan and easy clean up.
  • Toss a few seasoned Shrimp into Flour to coat, then Egg being sure to shake off excess.
  • Toss into Panko Breadcrumbs being sure to press into the crumbs to get a nice coating on them. Place onto lined pan. Continue process until all of the Shrimp are coated and ready to go.

Frying

  • Heat enough Oil in Skillet or Dutch Oven to cover Shrimp while frying until temperature reaches 350°F.
  • Begin frying Shrimp in batches being sure not to overcrowd for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Be sure to turn midway. Shrimp cooks very fast so I recommend that you do not walk away from eye view or you risk over cooking or possibly burning them. Remove and place on paper towel lined plate to catch excess oil.
  • Continue onto the next batch and continue the process until all are fried to golden perfection.

Serving

  • Serve with your favorite sides or enjoy them on their own with a small dipping dish of Spicy Mayo created earlier.
    ***Squeeze of fresh Lemon over the Shrimp gives it a fresh citrusy twist.. delicious!!
