  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus) You can vary the vegetables as per preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
  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
  1. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of zesty dipping sauce.

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.
