Am I the only one that really craves seafood during the Summer? What is it about the long hot days that does it, I guess anything that reminds me of the beach will get my craving going! In all honesty, I could tear up the recipe I’m sharing today at ANY time of the year! These panko fried shrimp are just as good (if not better!) than any you will find at your local seafood joint! Pair them with my recipe for a classic cocktail sauce and you’re in shrimp heaven!
Ingredients
Cocktail Sauce:
1 1/2 Cup Ketchup
1 1/2 Tbls Prepared Horseradish, cream style
Shrimp Assembly:
1 1/2 Pounds Shrimp, shell removed and de-veined, whatever size you prefer we used larger
2-4 Cups Panko Breadcrumbs, plain
2 tsp Garlic Powder, Onion Powder (this is just a guide and about how much I used, season to your preference)
3 each Eggs, beaten
1 Cup All-purpose flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
Vegetable Oil for frying
Directions
An hour or so ahead of time make the cocktail sauce by combining the two ingredients in a bowl and mixing together. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in fridge. Now, before cooking the shrimp we have to get our station set up. You will need two plates and a bowl. On the first plate you are going to put the flour. Season with half of the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. In the bowl crack the eggs and beat them. On the remaining plate put half of the breadcrumbs and season with the rest of the seasoning. Place your oil about half way up a deep sided frying pan over medium heat. Your station should be set up like this:
Now take the shrimp a couple at a time or one by one into each “station” making sure it is fully coated. In the flour knock off the excess, place into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs and finally into the hot oil. These only cook for 3-5 minutes total so then they look golden brown they’re done. You may need to replenish your breadcrumbs. So, just add more to the plate and season them just like before. Place the cooked shrimp onto a drying rack over a cookie sheet or something the excess oil can drip off onto.
If you want to keep the shrimp warm while you fry the rest you can place it into a warm oven set to 170 degrees or however low your oven will go. This is so easy, just serve it with the cocktail sauce and some lemons if you like and that’s it!
I hope you enjoyed this recipe, thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh yum! I love seafood all the time and these look perfect!
I think Panko is way better than any solo flour dredge. I just can not fry anything without it. Thanks for linking up to Inspiration in Progress.
This looks amazing!! I love shrimp and cook it often. I found this recipe on Sugar & Spice on the 733 Blog. I am co-hosting Tasty Tuesdays this week and would love for you to link up this recipe.
