📝 Preparation Steps

For the cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

For the shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the Creole seasoning.

In a shallow dish, combine the cornstarch and flour. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs with 1/4 cup water. In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining tablespoon Creole seasoning.

Working with a handful of shrimp at a time, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking gently to remove excess, then in the egg, and finally in the seasoned panko, making sure to coat the shrimp completely; transfer to a plate. Repeat the process until all the shrimp are breaded.
5
In a large high-sided skillet, heat about a 1/2 inch oil over medium heat until it registers 350°F on a deep-fry or candy thermometer. Working in batches, fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a paper-towel lined baking sheet to drain. Make sure to maintain the oil temperature between batches for even browning.
6
Serve immediately with the cocktail sauce and plenty of lemon wedges for squeezing.
