Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Set up your breading station.
In 1 bowl, combine 1 egg with 1 tbsp. (15 ml) water.
Stir with a fork until combined.
In a second bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) all purpose flour with 1 tsp. (5 ml) salt, 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) pepper, 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) garlic powder and 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) onion powder.
Stir well until combined.
In a third bowl add 1 cup (240 ml) of Japanese style breadcrumbs or another kind of crumb to form the crispy breading of the shrimp.
Japanese style breadcrumbs are made from crust-less bread and they are lighter and flakier than conventional breadcrumbs. -
Step 2: Prepare the shrimp.
If the raw shrimp aren't already peeled and deveined then do so.
Removing the tail is not necessary, but it is your choice.
When the shrimp are ready, take 1 shrimp and dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture and make sure the shrimp is evenly covered.
Then coat the shrimp in the egg wash and then press it gently into the crumb mixture.
The flour and egg will act as glue, allowing the breading to adhere to the shrimp.
Set the shrimp aside on a piece of parchment paper or another non-stick surface.
Continue until all the shrimp are battered.
