Ingredients
1 lb. shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 c. all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 c. panko bread crumbs
1 tbsp. Old Bay seasoning
2 tbsp. milk
Vegetable oil, for frying
Lemon wedges, for serving
1 c. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. finely chopped dill pickle
2 tbsp. capers
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. hot sauce
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Preparation
Step 1Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season well with salt and pepper. Place a wire cooling rack over a large baking sheet and line with paper towels. Step 2Place flour, eggs, and panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Stir Old Bay into panko and whisk milk into eggs. Step 3Working one at a time, dip shrimp in flour, then egg, and then panko, pressing to coat. In a large pot over medium heat, add enough oil to come 1” up the sides. Heat oil to 375°. Working in batches, add shrimp and cook until golden and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove from oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Immediately, top with more salt. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Step 4Make sauce: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickles, capers, mustard, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Refrigerate until ready to use. Step 5Serve shrimp warm with spicy tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
