• Once the oil has been heated up, bring down the flame and keep it on flame.
• In a separate bowl, place the flour and spread evenly.
• Whisk the eggs and milk in a separate bowl.
• Add bread crumbs, salt, basil, parsley, garlic and onion powder in a third bowl.
• After making sure the shrimp are properly peeled, press them into the flour.
• Carefully coat them and make sure to get the adequate amount of flour on each one.
• Now, take the shrimp and dip them into an egg mixture and press them into the bread crumbs.
• Make sure you toss these shrimps in your hand to make sure no excess crumbs make their way in.
• Place the breaded shrimp into a plate. Make sure to keep them separate and not let them mix.
