Ingredients

  • 1 bag 16-22 jumbo or colossal shrimp
  • 1/2 c. dill pickle juice from the jar
  • 2 tbsp. fish sauce
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. worchestershire sauce
  • 1 Meyer lemon
  • 1 c. plus 1/2 c. plain flour
  • 1/2 c. seasoned flour
  • 3/4 c. low fat milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. paprika, divided
  • 2 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 c. Panko
  • kosher salt and cracked blacked pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine pickle juice, fish sauce, sugar, worchestershire, juice of lemon and kosher salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Refrigerate covered for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. About 10 minutes before you are ready for your shrimp, heat oil in a heavy bottom pot or dutch oven. Fill with about 2 inches of oil. Bring up to 375* F.
  4. Get three shallow dishes. In dish 1, add 1 c. plain flour and 1/2 tsp. paprika. In dish 2, add seasoned flour, remaining plain flour, milk and egg. Blend well. In dish 3, add panko, remaining paprika and parsley. Season dish 1 and 3 with kosher salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drain excess marinade off shrimp. Toss in plain flour and shake off excess. Dip in wet mix and toss in panko. Transfer to a platter until all have been coated.
  6. Fry in small batches until golden brown and floating- about 3 minutes.
  7. Drain on paper towels until ready to plate. Serve with Sweet and Sour sauce or whatever your favorite dipping sauce desired.
