Description

Shrimp breaded in panko and deep fried are a wonderfully flavorful and crunchy appetizer or main dish.

Ingredients

2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1 Combine eggs and Sriracha in a bowl and beat with a fork until well combined. Coat shrimp in egg batter, a few shrimp at a time.
2 Pour panko into a shallow dish and mix in Cajun seasoning. Dredge shrimp in panko mixture.
