THE BEST SHRIMP EVER!! I was hoping this would be easy enough for my family to make when I requested it for my Mother's Day dinner. To my surprise, and theirs, it was much better than we expected!! They followed the recipe to the tee, and our taste buds were truly pleased!! As stated by previous reviewers, this gives restaurant quality shrimp! Thanks!!

I gave it five stars coz the shrimp was very crisb like the fried shrimp that we have in our favorite seafood resturant , but the flavor is very poor so I added salt , black pepper, cumin , lemon juice and garlic powder to the shrimp and just salt and black pepper to the water mixture ...so it was the best shrimp I have ever had . as many other reviews said that the water and the cornstarch is toooooooo much for one pound , I had one pound large shrimp and I just used 1/4 the amount of the water and the cornstarch .

PERFECT! I've finally found the recipe for perfect fried shrimp! The only variance I made to this recipe was to add salt, pepper, and Old Bay Seasoning to the bread crumbs. My family loved these shrimp. They are definitely restaurant quality, if not better. Delicious!

Panko Bread Crumbs make a world of difference. I seasoned the shrimp with Old Bay before diping and coating with Panko. Only one coating is necessary. Restaurant Quality Fried Shrimp!

I usually pay attention to the reviews and adjust the recipe accordingly but somehow I missed the water suggestions. Way too much water, definetely reduce it. If you follow the recipe as stated, you can't double dip. Upon dipping your shrimp the second time around, the liquid mixture just removes the first coat you put on. Just don't coat a second time, it turns out fine. I didn't have any fresh breadcrumbs so I very lightly toasted 6 slices of bread in the oven, then ran them throuh the food processor. I also added salt, pepper and dried parsley to the breadcrumbs. It was excellent.

I am not a seafood person at all. I only made this because my husband loves shrimp. It's hard to cook something that you don't really care for, but I did it. I have to say that this was SUPER easy! My husband said it was great and I think that my 4.5 year old and 5.5 year old each ate at least as much as my husband did if not more, which completely shocked me! And I will admit, I DID try one...not bad for shrimp. ;o) Great recipe! I'll certainly make this again! Thanks!

This was by far the BEST shrimp I've ever had. It was better than restaurant quality. Half of them never even made it to the table because we ate them right out of the pot. The ones that did make it were devoured in record time! We followed the advice to cut the water in half and added a little garlic salt and Emeril seasoning. Delicious!

pretty good. couldn't give it a 5 because of so many changes. Great basic recipe!!!!!

I agree with the other reviewers who recommend cutting down or halving the water, eggs, and cornstarch. I sprinkled a bit of cajun seasoning on the shrimp before battering. Glad I did, or esle it would have been a little bland for our taste.

This was tasty after I jazzed it up a bit. To the egg, cornstarch and water mixture I added a capful of rum. I also seasoned the breadcrumbs with white pepper, seasoned salt, lemon pepper, granulated garlic, italian seasonings and a dash of curry powder. Excellent! I will definitely try again. Also, reduce the water by 2 cups.

As updated and modified by other reviewers, this recipe makes a very light coating to help bring out the natural taste of fried shrimp. For a pound of shrimp, you can easily get by using 1 and a 1/4 cup water, 1 egg and 4oz. of cornstarch. It's a must to use Panko bread crumbs. (If you can't find that brand in your stores, put a slice of white bread through a small countertop food processor and lightly dry the flakes in a low heat oven or a microwave). As also mentioned, there's no need to double dip. Dip once in the wash and once in the bread crumbs and then right into the oil. Delicious!!!

This was the best shrimp recipe I have tried. I made this for my mom who is my biggest critic and she loved them. Since I only had a pound and a half of shrimp, I used 1 egg and 3/4 cups of cornstarch. I also added a dash of garlic powder and a tsp of paprika for coloring.

This recipe is simple and delicious. I used only 1 cup water, 1/2 cup corn starch, and 1 egg, and still had plenty left over. This is way cheaper than buying the frozen butterflied shrimp. I will use this recipe forever!

Too much water. What do you want us to make? Shrimp soup? Also, what is the point of the bread crumbs when the "mixture" washes them right off? Waste of time and good shrimp. Needs tweaking like less water!

WOW...I wish I could give this recipe more than 5 stars because it totally deserves it. I'm usually a failure at breading and frying food, but even I couldn't mess up this recipe!! The shrimp looked and tasted like restaurant-style fried shrimp and my entire family was impressed. The only thing I did differently was to mix the cornstarch with the bread crumbs (instead of with the egg and water) and to add a few spices to the bread crumbs (salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder). Also, cut down the water to about 1 cup because 4 cups is way to much. TRY THIS RECIPE!!!!!!!!! UPDATE: this breading is also great for mozzarella cheese sticks and chicken

Omgoodness these were excellent. I was skeptical, but they turned out great! I added some Old Bay Seasoning to the breadcrumbs for mre flavor. The best!

Really enjoyable. Totally loved it. I made no changes I will be making this again My family loved it so much that they said I should cook for an entire restaurant instead of a single home. The best! I loved it too. Also good if dipped with Ketchup. Sooooooooooo Gooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!

This was delicious, only change made was I used corn meal instead of starch as my batter...oops. However, they did turn out well. Served well along side Wasabi Cocktail Sauce, and they definitely don't last long. Had to make a second batch! Will be making these again though, definitely.

I used panko bread crumbs in the recipe as well and my family loved them! It went so fast my father said it was as good if not better as going to a restaurant and ordering fried shrimp, I will definately fix this again!

This was soooo good, my family loved it. I will be making it again
