Ingredients

• 1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup gluten-free flour
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another dish, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 5

Coat each shrimp in the flour mixture, shake off the excess, then dip into beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat each shrimp evenly in the gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 7

Gently place the breaded shrimp into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.

Step 8

Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they become golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the crispy breaded shrimp hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
