Crispy Oven Fried Beer Batter Crumbed Shrimp! Fresh shrimp dipped in a light beer batter….coated in Panko for that extra crunchy and crispy texture of deep fried…without the deep fried oil or extra fat!
Crispy Oven Fried Beer Batter Crumbed Shrimp… This job is perfect, it means I get to enjoy food like this always!
Using a Tempura-insired batter for these shrimp, you won’t believe they’re oven baked instead of deep fried. In fact, no one will believe you, because they’re super crispy with a deep-fried taste.
You know it’s a winner when you can’t stop eating them even if it means burning your mouth. Like our Garlic Parmesan Crumbed Fish, the crunchy crackle from one bite has me instantly wanting more! What gives them the deep-fried flavour is a light spray of cooking oil before baking. Giving them a golden, crunch coating!
These are amazing wrapped in lettuce cups like our Oven Fried Battered Shrimp Lettuce Wraps!

Crispy Oven Baked Crumbed Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1 egg large
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons beer
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 pound shrimp peeled, deveined, tail intact
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 410°F (210°C). Lightly spray an oven tray with cooking oil spray; set aside.
- Whisk the egg in a small shallow bowl. Add in the flour, beer, garlic powder, salt and water. Whisk slowly until all the ingredients come together; then beat until the batter is smooth. Pat dry each prawn/shrimp until they are completely dry.
- Holding the shrimp/prawns by the tail; dip one shrimp/prawn at a time into the batter to evenly coat; gently shake off any excess; then evenly coat them in the breadcrumbs. Place them onto the oven tray in a single layer.
- Bake for 10 minutes on one side; flip them and bake for a further 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through (depending on the heat in your oven).

Looks fab! What about using club soda instead of the beer? I don’t usually have beer here, and it’s only 2 T. Saw another’s review – what is Diana sauce? Would baking in a convection be a good idea? What about baking them on a rack to really crisp things up? Thanks much!
How many calories are these? I want to make them for that delicious looking teriyaki shrimp lettuce cups recipe, but am unsure of how many total calories the meal will have? Thanks for any clarity!
It was a hit during labour day weekend with the extended family. We used Diana sauce as a dip. With the excess egg mixture I made an oven baked omelette with tomato and pepper. All 59 pieces of shrimp are gone!
Eunah that’s so awesome! I’m so happy to hear that!!!
This shrimp recipe looks so good. Love the idea of baking instead of frying. Pinned. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mary!
