Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 pound frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway.
Step 2
While fries bake, set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup panko. Pat the 1 pound shrimp dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a breadcrumb—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 4
Dredge each shrimp in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently to coat. Work in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
Step 5
Fry shrimp in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Mix 0.5 cup mayonnaise with juice of half the lemon. Serve shrimp and fries with the sauce and remaining lemon wedges.
Step 7
Season hot shrimp and fries with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
