Prepare The Shrimp: Start by rinsing the shrimp and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps the batter adhere better.

Season The Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Season the shrimp evenly with this mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

Prepare The Batter: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the all-purpose flour. Now, you’ll create an assembly line: shrimp first, then the beaten eggs, and finally the flour.

Coat The Shrimp: Dip each seasoned shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll them in the flour until they are fully coated. Set them aside on a plate.

Heat The Oil: In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small bit of flour into it; it should sizzle immediately.

Fry The Shrimp: Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Drain And Serve: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
