    large eggs, beaten

    panko bread crumbs

  • 1 Tbsp.

    1. Step 1Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season well with salt and pepper. Place a wire cooling rack over a large baking sheet and line with paper towels. 
    2. Step 2Place flour, eggs, and panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Stir Old Bay into panko and whisk milk into eggs.
