How To Make crispy shrimp poppers

Step 1

Butterfly the shrimp along the outside curves. Spread about 1 teaspoon cream cheese inside each shrimp.

Step 2

Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise; wrap a piece around each shrimp and secure with toothpicks.
Step 3

In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, eggs and bread crumbs. Coat the shrimp with flour; dip into eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.
Step 4

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°.
Step 5

Fry shrimp, a few at a time, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Discard toothpicks before serving.
