Instructions

Mix the finely chopped dill with the panko bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Put the flour into another shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper, blend well. Beat the eggs into a third bowl.
Dry the shrimp with a paper towel.
Dip the shrimp in flour and shake off any excess. Then dip into the beaten egg, making sure all sides are coated. Transfer to dill breadcrumbs mixture and cover well on all sides.
Place a large heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom lightly when hot. Add the shrimps and fry on both sides for about 2 minutes. Turn only once.
Remove and drain on a paper towel if need be. Serve lemon wedges alongside.

Notes

Have all your shrimp ready to fry and keep a watchful eye on them so as not to burn them and overcook them.
