Vejledning

Sprinkle shrimp with cajun seasoning.

Place 3/4 cup flour in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk eggs together with 1 tablespoon of water.

Combine bread crumbs, Panko crumbs, and flour on a paper plate or in a shallow dish.

Coat shrimp in flour, dip in egg, and then press into bread crumb mixture, throughly coating them.

Pour 1 inch of oil in a Dutch oven or skillet with high sides. Heat until oil sizzles when you drop a few bread crumbs in.

Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown. This will only take a minute or two depending on shrimp size and how hot the oil is. Do not overcook them or they will be chewy. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Sprinkle shrimp lightly with salt when you take them out of the oil.

Serve with cocktail sauce.
