Crunchy Fried Shrimp Dinner


Shrimp are delicious, and much easier to make than you think! They provide omega-three fatty acids and lots of protein. Add some cooked brown rice and veggies, and you're good to go!

HERE’S WHAT I DID

1/2 pound shrimp, shelled & deveined
1/4 cup flour
1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, beaten
1/2 bag of Panko bread crumbs
enough oil to cover the bottom of pan
Dredge the all shrimp in the flour. One by one, shake off any extra flour from a shrimp. Wet the shrimp in the egg-water. Roll the shrimp, coating evenly, in the bread crumbs. Set aside on large plate. Repeat.

Using a fry pan or cast iron skillet, cover the bottom of the pan with oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp on each side until crust in golden brown, up to a minute on each side. It doesn’t take long at all to cook the shrimp, so don’t walk away from the pan.

Move the shrimp to a foil envelope lined with a paper towel and keep closed to keep the heat in.
