  17. ### **1. Prepare the Shrimp**
  18. - **Peel and devein the shrimp**: Remove the shells, leaving the tails intact for presentation. Make a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp to remove the vein.
  19. - **Straighten the shrimp**: Gently press the shrimp flat to prevent curling during frying.
  20. - **Season the shrimp**: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for added flavor.
  21. ### **2. Set Up the Breading Station**
  22. - **Prepare three bowls**:
  23. - Bowl 1: All-purpose flour
  24. - Bowl 2: Beaten eggs

  26. - **Add seasoning**: Mix a pinch of salt and pepper into the flour and panko for extra flavor.
  27. ### **3. Bread the Shrimp**
  28. - **Coat with flour**: Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  29. - **Dip in egg**: Submerge the floured shrimp in the beaten eggs, ensuring even coverage.
  30. - **Coat with panko**: Press the shrimp into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure they are fully coated. For extra crunch, press the panko gently to adhere.
  31. ### **4. Heat the Oil**
  32. - **Choose the right oil**: Use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil for frying.
  33. - **Heat the oil**: In a deep pan or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
  34. ### **5. Fry the Shrimp**
