Fried shrimp

You can find Ree Drummond's recipe Here  I cut the recipe in half and it made about 20 shrimp. We love friend shrimp, but mine usually doesn't have the good crust I want. This has it all. Dip in cocktail sauce and enjoy.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup cornstarch mixed with
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg ( you can always add another if needed)
2 T. water
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Ree adds 1/2 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs, but I did not
3/4 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
Vegetable oil for frying
Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Cocktail sauce, recipe follows:
1 cup ketchup 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish - mixed


Directions: 
1. Combine cornstarch and flour in a shallow pan. Beat egg and 2 T. water in a second shallow pan. In the third bowl add panko and seasoned breadcrumbs if using. 1st dip shrimp in flour mixture, then egg wash, then bread crumbs.
2. Heat enough oil to fry your shrimp
3. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes per side.  I used a fry baby and was able to fry them a total of 2 min. Drain on a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Serve with cocktail sauce.
