Step 1
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in the second, panko in the third.
Step 2
Heat oil in a heavy skillet or wok to 350°F. Use a thermometer — the oil should shimmer but not smoke.
Step 3
Coat each shrimp in flour, then dip in egg, then roll in panko until fully crusted. Set on a plate.
Step 4
Fry shrimp in batches of 4–5 for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Do not crowd the pan.
Step 5
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with ponzu sauce for dipping.
