  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Oil, for frying

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • large skillet For frying the shrimp.
  • mixing bowls For the Parmesan coating, egg mixture, and creamy garlic dip.
  • whisk For mixing the eggs and milk.
  • wire rack or paper towels For draining the fried shrimp.
  • Kitchen thermometer For maintaining the frying oil at 350°F.

Method
 

  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In one bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan, panko, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, then coat with the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to help it stick.
  3. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet to 350°F. Fry the shrimp in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning as needed, until golden, crisp, and cooked through. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
  4. Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, grated garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Chill briefly while the shrimp finish cooking.
  5. Arrange the crispy garlic Parmesan shrimp on a serving plate. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately with the creamy garlic dip and lemon wedges.

Notes

Pat the shrimp completely dry before seasoning so the coating adheres well. Keep the frying oil around 350°F and cook the shrimp in small batches to maintain a crisp, golden coating.
