Ingredients

1 quart vegetable oil for frying
4 cups shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 large egg, beaten
2 cups dry bread crumbs

Instructions

First, gather all the necessary ingredients. Then, heat oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Take each shrimp, one at a time, and dip it into the beaten egg. Make sure any excess egg drips back into the bowl. Then, press the shrimp into the bread crumbs, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate, making sure they aren't stacked. Repeat this process with the remaining shrimp.
Carefully lower the breaded shrimp into the preheated oil in batches. Fry them until they are crispy and have a beautiful golden-brown color, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the rest of the breaded shrimp.
