Ingredients

1 lb - Shrimp with tails
½ tsp - Salt
½ tsp - Black pepper
Oil
2 - eggs
½ cup - All-purpose flour
½ tsp - Salt
½ tsp - Black pepper
1 tsp - Garlic powder
1 tsp - Chili flakes
2 cups - Panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

Take the shrimps in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper.
To make the batter, you will need two bowls. In the first bowl mix together eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes. In the second bowl add the Panko breadcrumbs.
Working with one shrimp at a time, dip in flour-egg mixture, then coat the shrimps in Panko making sure all sides are covered and coated well. (You can repeat the process for a second time if you want to make them extra crunchy)
In a pan fill oil (about 2 -2 ½ inches deep) and heat to around 375℉. Place 3-4 pieces of battered shrimp in the hot oil and fry the shrimps on medium flame until crisp, golden, and evenly cooked from inside (about 2-3 minutes). Just make sure not to overcook as that might turn shrimp rubbery and chewy.
Remove the shrimps from the oil and drain the excess oil using a paper towel.
Serve hot with your favorite dip and enjoy.
