✓ Rinse 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined under cold water.

✓ Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

✓ In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper until well combined.

✓ In another bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.

✓ In a third bowl, evenly spread out 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs.

✓ Dredge each shrimp in flour first, shaking off any excess.

✓ Dip them in the beaten egg, ensuring they are fully coated but not soggy.

✓ Coat the shrimp in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

✓ Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Use about an inch of oil to ensure even cooking and prevent splattering.

✓ Carefully place breaded shrimp into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary.

✓ Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to handle the shrimp so as not to break them.

✓ Using a slotted spoon, remove fried shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

✓ Arrange the crispy shrimp on a serving platter or individual plates.

✓ Garnish with fresh parsley for an added burst of color and freshness.
