This Panko Shrimp with jerk mayo is Deliciously crunchy and well seasoned. Yes please! Liven up your day with this quick and easy recipe. This is the perfect appetizer for a meal for two or a quick snack for the family.
Simple is sometimes better!
It’s all about the ingredients. Sometimes just a few flavourful ingredients can go a really long way to making the cooking process simple yet flavourful. I often go with the cooked shrimp from the frozen section however I wanted to fry these up nice and golden without worrying that it would over cook. This time I went with the uncooked shrimp that was peeled and deveined. After using this there’s no going back for me.
Breadcrumbs are really important. You will notice that I kept the type of bread crumbs in the name because not just any breadcrumbs will do. Go with the panko breadcrumbs. It’s flaky, crunchy and flavorful. I went a step further and chose the Italian herb however the plain can work just fine.
Season the shrimp with light and simple spices. Salt, black pepper, all purpose and minced garlic and voila, you are ready to start frying.
How to make Panko Shrimp with Lemon Jerk Mayo?
Start by defrosting your shrimp and rinsing with water and a squeeze of lemon juice or vinegar. Using paper towels pat dry the shrimp removing as much water as possible. Season the shrimp with spices such as salt, pepper, all purpose and minced garlic and mix well. Set the shrimp aside and prepare coating mixture. Whisk one egg in a bowl and in a shallow plate add the panko bread crumbs.
Heat a deep pot with oil. When hot, dip the shrimp in the egg mixture then transfer to the plate with the bread crumbs. Toss the shrimp around to ensure it’s properly coated. Gently shake off any excess breadcrumbs and place in the pot with oil. Working in two batches of six or if you have a larger pot you can do them all at once. Fry on each side for 2 minutes. When golden brown remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Let’s not forget the sauce. In a small bowl add mayonnaise, jerk seasoning, sugar, lemon juice and mix well. Serve with the shrimp and squeeze some lemon juice on top and enjoy. Now that we have what we need lets get cooking!
