Panko Fried Shrimp

This panko fried shrimp recipe is one of the most popular restaurant appetizers here in Southern California.

For the batter, I’m using a mixture of beer (you can substitute sparkling water), flour and eggs. The shrimp is then coated in a crunchy mixture of panko bread crumbs and then fried until golden brown.

I’m serving the shrimp with a spicy horseradish and ginger dipping sauce. If you like this recipe, you’ll also love my macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi too!
