Add oil to deep fryer or pour enough oil to come 2 to 3-inches oil up sides of deep saucepan. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. over medium heat.

Dredge shrimp first in seasoned flour, then eggs and lastly, in the bread crumb mixture. Carefully add to the hot oil, in batches, turning once. Fry shrimp until just cooked through and coating is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to remove excess oil.
