Step 1
Pat shrimp dry and straighten each one by gently pressing the underside against the cutting board.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in another, panko in the third.
Step 3
Coat each shrimp in flour, tap off excess, dip in egg, then roll in panko until fully covered.
Step 4
Heat 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until a breadcrumb sizzles on contact, ~3 minutes.
Step 5
Fry shrimp in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and center is opaque.
Step 6
Mix mayonnaise and pickle relish in a small bowl. Serve warm shrimp with tartar sauce on the side.
