Directions:

1. Peel the shrimp from the shell, leave a small part of the tail.

2. Make a shallow incision along the top of the shrimp and carefully remove the food tract.

3. You can make several shallow incisions on the belly of the shrimp, so that they become even, and not curl up into a ball.

4. Soak the shrimp with a paper towel. They should be as dry as possible.

5. Put flour, whipped chicken eggs, Panko breadcrumbs in separate cups.

6. Roll each shrimp first in flour, then in egg and then in breadcrumbs. Do you want more crispy batter? Roll in the egg and breadcrumbs again.

7. Preheat the fryer or oil in a wok pan to 360°F (or 180°C).
