Step 1
Shred the potato on a box grater into a mound on paper towels. Squeeze out excess moisture, then press into a nest shape on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 12 minutes until golden.
Step 2
Pat shrimp very dry with paper towels. Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in the second, panko in the third.
Step 3
Coat each shrimp in flour, tap off excess, then dip in egg, then roll in panko until fully covered. Place on a clean plate.
Step 4
Heat 1.5 inches of neutral oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F. Working in batches, fry shrimp 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Stir mayonnaise and pickle relish together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and lemon juice to balance.
Step 6
Plate the crispy shrimp alongside the warm potato nest, fresh salad, and tartar sauce. Serve immediately.
