Instructions
Step 1: Get your shrimp game on!
Clean and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. You want them to be as dry as possible to ensure a crunchy exterior once they hit the frying pan!
Step 2: Get the party started with some flavorful coating!
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, making sure they are fully coated. This will be their crunchy armor!
Step 3: Time to fry up some deliciousness!
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil and fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pan - you want each shrimp to have enough space to sizzle and dance!
