Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each shrimp first in flour, shaking off excess, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
Place the coated shrimp on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Lightly spray or brush the shrimp with cooking spray or olive oil to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
