Preparation

  2. Dip each shrimp and vegetable piece first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the shrimp and vegetables in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
  3. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serving

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double-dipping your shrimp in the egg and breadcrumbs. Ensure oil is hot enough before frying; it should sizzle when shrimp hits the pot. Variations include using chicken or tofu as alternative proteins.
