Ingredient List

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup from 1 box Progresso™ Plain Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs
12 uncooked jumbo shrimp (3/4 lb), thawed if frozen, peeled (with tails left on), deveined
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lemon, halved
Chopped fresh chives, if desired
Tartar sauce or marinara sauce, if desired

Preparation

In shallow dish, stir together flour, salt and red pepper. In another shallow dish, place eggs. In another shallow dish, place bread crumbs.
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Coat shrimp with flour mixture. Dip into eggs; coat well with crumb mixture.
In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer; immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook 3 to 6 minutes, turning once, until shrimp are pink and coating turns golden brown. Serve with remaining ingredients.

Tips

For an earthier flavor, add 1 teaspoon smoked paprika to the flour mixture.
Most fresh shrimp at grocery stores have been frozen and thawed already, so buying frozen shrimp is often a better choice.
