INSTRUCTIONS:
1st Step – Prepare the Shrimp:
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
- Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. Press gently to adhere the flour mixture to the shrimp.
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the fried shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Transfer the fried shrimp to a serving platter.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
- Enjoy the irresistible crunch and flavor of these gluten-free classic fried shrimp as a delicious appetizer or main course.
