Wash and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation.

Soak the shrimp in water with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda for 10 minutes.

Pat the shrimp dry with a kitchen towel.

Set up a breading station with all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and turmeric.

Mix the egg yolk and egg white thoroughly, adding a little water to help it mix better.

Season the panko breadcrumbs similarly to the flour.

Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.

Dip the floured shrimp into the egg wash, then coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.

Place the breaded shrimp in the freezer to firm up before frying.

Heat oil to about 170 degrees Celsius (approximately 338 degrees Fahrenheit).

Carefully lower the shrimp into the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, avoiding crowding the pan.

Transfer the cooked shrimp to a cooling rack to drain.

Serve with a dipping sauce such as mayonnaise or honey mustard.
