Mmmmm. Crispy panko fried shrimp. If you ordered these little bites of yumminess at a restaurant how many would you get? Five? Six? That’s just not nearly enough. Not even close. They’re just too good to only eat a handful. They’re seasoned simply, fried quickly, and ready to devour before you know it. And there’s no shortage of great crunch, that’s for sure.

Panko Fried Shrimp

Blank Shrimp Need Not Apply

For a little extra ‘something’ I often sprinkle my panko fried shrimp with just a bit of Old Bay seasoning just before I serve them. Not too much seasoning. But enough that you get that wonderful seafood spice aroma and just a little of that great flavor. You don’t want to bury them in it. Try it and you’ll find yourself doing it too.

I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.

Also try my crispy fried shrimp.
