Deep fried shrimps covered with Panko bread crumbs and seasoned with garlic powder and pepper , served with a cocktail sauce .
Chef's notes
Although I used garlic powder in this recipe feel free to use your own spices in the flour .
If you can't find panko you can use regular bread crumbs but I think the panko will taste much better .
One important thing you should keep in mind here is to AVOID over cooking the shrimp it will become very tough .
Steps
1
Make the sauce .
Ingredients
1/2 C of mayo
3 Tbs of ketchup
Mix the mayo and the Ketchup together then chill in the refrigerator .
2
Prepare the shrimps
Ingredients
1 pound of jumbo shrimps
1 C of flour
1 Tbs of salt
1 Tbs of pepper
1 Tbs of garlic powder
2 eggs
2 Tbs of milk
2 C of Panko bread crumbs
If the shrimps is not cleaned and devained then start by cleaning and devaining it.
Pat the shrimp dry and set aside .
put the flour , salt , pepper , and garlic powder in a plate and stir with a fork .
In a bowl beat the eggs with the milk .
Put the panko in a another plate and then start by dredging the shrimps in the flour , shake the excess flour then dip them in the egg mixture , after that cover the shrimps with the panko completely and ensure that there is an even coating on it .
Do that with all the shrimps then put them in another plate .
3
Fry the shrimps
Ingredients
Vegetable or Canola oil
Vegetable or Canola oil
Start by preheating the oil to 375 degree then add the shrimps one by one.
Don't overcrowd the pan or the oil temperature will drop , you may want to fry it in patches.
Fry until gold and brown about 2-3 minuets then transfer the cooked shrimps to a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil.

I like a little grated chili pepper on them after they are cooked. I like them without the ketchup and mayo sauce. I drizzle some Mango hot sauce on them.
