How to cook deliciously - Popcorn Shrimp

1. Stage

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season well with salt and pepper. Place a wire cooling rack over a large baking sheet and line with paper towels.

Place flour, eggs, and panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Stir Old Bay into panko and whisk milk into eggs. 

3. Stage

Working one at a time, dip shrimp in flour, then egg, and then panko, pressing to coat. In a large pot over medium heat, add enough oil to come 1” up the sides. Heat oil to 375°. Working in batches, add shrimp and cook until golden and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove from oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Immediately, top with more salt. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
