It’s one of my favorite shrimp recipes due to how versatile it can be! It can be the perfect appetizer or part of the main course.

Last night I topped cheese grits with the shrimp as the main meal with broiled brussel sprouts as the side dish. Talk about heaven!

I live in Florida and shrimp is a staple in our home. There are so many different ways that I have had panko shrimp.

Crunchy panko shrimp served with a favorite dipping sauce and coconut shrimp with honey mustard are a couple of my favorite dishes. If you are looking for a crispy fried shrimp recipe, check out this one from AllRecipes: Crispy Fried Shrimp
