Fried Shrimp or Fish
(from cokerlj’s recipe box)
This is really good and extra crunchy!
Panko is a Oriental bread crumb and can be found in that section of your grocery.
I will say that some fish works well with Panko…some just needs good old fashioned cornmeal coating recipe found in this book.

Ingredients
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup Panko
- seasonings to taste...use salt, pepper or even a dash of "Tony's" a Cajun/Creole seasoning.
Directions
-
Mix the egg and milk together.
-
Mix in a little salt or Tony’s seasoning into the flour.
-
Dip shrimp or fish filet into the flour.
-
Dip into egg wash.
-
Dip into the Panko.
-
TIP: Not necessary…but if you allow the shrimp or fish to “rest” a little before dropping into the hot oil the breading will stick better.
-
Drop into hot oil to fry until golden for shrimp.
-
For fish you can fry in an old cast iron skillet using just enough grease to come up to the side of the fish but not going over.
-
Serve with Red Cocktail Sauce and/or Tarter sauce, recipes also in this book.
