My family loved these! They weren't difficult to make. Soooo crunchy. Eat 'em fast cause they disappear quickly. Didn't change a thing. I always keep shrimp in the house for Scampi, use them with lots of pasta dishes so this was a nice change of pace. Thank you...

My husband decided to try this recipe friday night to go along with our fish. We really enjoyed this and loved how the batter stuck to the shrimp. We added a little more salt, pepper, garlic and old bay seasoning to the batter and used Panko bread crumbs. We set our dep fryer to 360 and it was done quickly. We made a butter dip with lemon and lime squeezed in it. This will definitely be made many times in our household. Thanks so much for posting.

I made this recipe today as one of three I chose (by KC Farmwife). Well, this goes straight into my cookbook. KS Farmwife, your shrimp takes less time to make than you thought: it was actually very easy, and after a minute or so in hot oil they were deep golden brown. I had to use a little less water in my batter — I think my egg whites were quite large and I didn't want to thin the batter too much. What surprised me most was how the batter and cornflake crumbs stuck — not a single itsy-bitsy came off in the oil! Also, I don't have a deep-fryer so merely used a heavy, deep pot. The jumbo shrimps (or tiger prawns as they're called here) were also sweet and tasty on the inside. A GREAT recipe. I'd say, if one used this as a snack or light meal, more than one dipping sauce might be good. I was thinking that sweet chilli sauce (the Thai sauce) would also be great.

This is totally the very best recipe I have ever made so far for frying shrimp. I did change one thing and that was I used "Sunluck Panko Breading" in place of the cornflake crumbs,only because thats what I had on hand. I also halved the recipe for just 1 pound of shrimp. I added seasoning salt and black pepper to the panko breading and fellowed the recipe as stated. It was outstanding!!! It was like having fried shrimp from a resturant. I LOVED IT! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Its one I will be using from now on.
