Fried butterflied shrimp
Fried butterflied shrimp is a popular dish where shrimp are butterflied (cut along the back and spread open), coated in breadcrumbs or batter, and then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. It’s a delicious and crispy seafood dish that is often served as an appetizer or main course.
Ingredients
Method
- Butterfly the shrimp by cutting along the back of each shrimp, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- In three separate bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Dredge each shrimp in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the breaded shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the fried butterflied shrimp hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top or your favorite dip if desired. Enjoy!
