Shrimp Preparation

1

Prepare the Shrimp

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely.

2

Marinate the Shrimp

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly.

Fried Option

3

Set Up Breading Station

In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another dish, beat the egg. In a third dish, combine bread crumbs and cornstarch.

4

Bread the Shrimp

Dredge each marinated shrimp in flour, dip into the beaten egg, and then coat with the bread crumb mixture.

5

Fry the Shrimp

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot. Fry the breaded shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Grilled Option

Prepare the Grill

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill the Shrimp

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
