- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined

Preheat your oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or a large pot.
Season the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Coat the shrimp in panko breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
