- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Instructions

Notes
- Use large shrimp for best results, such as U-12 or U-16 size.
- Ensure shrimp is raw and fully prepared before cooking.
- Pat shrimp dry to remove excess moisture for better frying.
- Let seasoned shrimp rest before frying to help batter adhere.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for a light, flaky texture; avoid substitutions.
- Preferably use avocado, canola, or vegetable oil for frying.
- Maintain oil temperature between 325-350F for crispy shrimp.
- Consider using a thermometer and fry in batches if needed.
