Step 1: Have all the shrimp breaded and on a plate before starting to fry.
Step 2: Pat all the shrimp dry as possible using paper towels.
Step 3: Place the egg in a shallow dish.
Step 4: In another shallow dish combine the breadcumbs with flour, garlic powder and seasoned salt (or seasonings of choice).
Step 5: Dip the shrimp firstly into the egg allowing excess to drip off, then coat into the breadcrumb mixture pressing down firmly with hands to adhere the coating to the shrimp.
Step 6: Place all the coated shrimp on a plate.
Step 7: Heat oil to in skillet over medium-high heat (or use a deep-fryer for frying)
Step 8: For an extra crispy coating you may lightly coat the shrimp a second time in the breadcrumb mixture just before frying if desired.
Step 9: Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Step 10: Transfer to a rack or paper towels to drain (I prefer a rack, paper towels tend to make the coating soft).
