It is great with salad or rice.
When buying frozen shrimp sometimes it is already deveined. All you need to do is peel the cover but leave the tail attached and its cover.

After dipping it in flour, shake it to remove excess flour. Do the same thing after dipping it in panko. This will keep your oil clean.

Remove from heat and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel so excess oil can be absorbed by the paper towel.
