For best results, use fresh bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs offer a particularly light and crispy texture. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Do not overcrowd the fryer, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp. Serve the fried shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, tartar sauce, or a simple lemon-garlic aioli.
