Popcorn Shrimp

Crispy popcorn shrimp make a perfect snack or appetizer. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and eat them with your fingers, or pile them on top of pasta and enjoy them for dinner.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound uncooked shrimp (41-50 per pound), peeled and deveined
oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Combine bread crumbs, parsley and garlic powder in a third shallow bowl. Dip shrimp in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in bread crumbs, patting to help adhere.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
